Its got everything - Witness Protection review by JD
There is everything you could want in a film. It starts with action and proceeds through most worthwhile genres. Utterly captivating development of 4 actors with a at least 3 sub-plots. The most complete film I have seen. Most of my reviews have a balance of good and bad, not this one.
