Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Perfect Witness DVD Review
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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Perfect Murdering Witness
A meat distributer gets tired of the mobs fees on his market. He decides to testify for the DA.

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."
