Review:
This was a rather exciting and tense thriller with an unusual premise. Harrison Ford plays a cop named John Book who is sent to solve the crime of a murdered Police Officer found in a bathroom. The thing is, the witness is a little Amish boy who's Family want nothing to do with the Police but of course they are forced to work together. They also have to hide out in Amish county so John Book has to get used to doing things a little differently. It's a bit of a touching film as everyone learns a little something from one another and it has a bit of a sense of humor which I suppose is why it has more of a broad appeal than most thrillers. The thing is, this tale involves other Police Officers and nowhere is really safe anymore, and that's where it really gets exciting. The acting is really impressive and in our cast we also get Danny Glover, Kelly McGillis and a very young Lukas Haas and the story is very well made too. Definitely recommended to most everyone, heck even my Grandparents seemed to like it!
