This is a well-made, well-written, and well-acted HBO film. HBO has always made some of the most interesting and entertaining films. Perfect Witness is presented in 1.33:1 aspect ratio and has very good picture and sound quality.

A meat distributer gets tired of the mobs fees on his market. He decides to testify for the DA. A restauranter, played by Aidan Quinn, witnesses a mob murder in a bar while making a phone call after hours. The DA, played by Brian Denehy, and his associate, played by Stockard Channing, will do almost anything to get him to testify for them. He agrees to testify but has a change of heart after the meat distributor and his wife are found dead and then his son is badly beaten. Excellent drama. I recommend ... Read More

The movie was a little long in parts, but kept the viewer's interest as one waited to see the choice of, and resulting manifestation of innner character of, the "perfect witness."
