Grant Watson Fiction Machine Competently made, and on its own merits fitfully enjoyable, but it lacks the one inventive idea to boost its appeal. Rated: 6/10 Nov 25, 2021 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat From South Korea, The Witness takes a modern spin on the parable The Good Samaritan. Rated: 7/10 May 22, 2019 Full Review Anton Bitel Projected Figures while there is plenty of super-taut cat & mouse to be savoured here, & a veritable flood of action at the end, The Witness is also a plea for social responsibility, & a critique of the insular, inward-looking selfishness among Korea's middle classes Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Joel C A killer who isn't shy to kill in public places. The film took a while to warm up to, but it got pretty good eventually. The killer was cool as with most Korean thrillers. The protagonist really grinded my gears at times, just a total wimp and honestly should be locked away for accomplice to murder. Worth a one time watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/21 Full Review Audience Member A just annoying main character and a really non-sensical plot, not really an enjoyable action movie and also falls short for being a real thriller. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
