Georgian Bay Ladi Eyewitness complete with well-rounded characters Movie review by Terry Dupuis Two years ago director Peter Yates and screenwriter Steve Tesich collaborated on a low-budget film called Breaking Away. It was about a group of teenagers in a small Indiana town who are wondering what they are going to do with their futures. The film had no big names in the cast and yet it became "sleeper"' of the year. hoth commercially and critically. Lt Zarnered many Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Pic- ture Yates and Tesich may have done it again with their second collaboration together, an original story called Eyewitness. But this second film is far from being a carbon copv of their first hit. Whereas Breaking Awav took place in Bloomington, Indiana, Evewitness, is set in New York City. And Breaking Away was basically a comedy, whereas Eyewitness is a suspense thriller: And vet despite the fact that our theatre screens have seen an abundance of susnense thrillers in recent years, Evewitness manages to be a little dif- ferent. For one thing, director Yates and screenwriter Tesich do not go for the audience's jugular. So many film makers todav are filling their thrillers with blood and sore and sensationalistic shock value. Evewitness is more low-keyed. Tesich and Yates have come up with an admirably restrained thriller which never sacrifices characterization or plausibility to merely give the audience a cheap thrill. The main character of Eyewitness is the young night janitor of a big New York office building. The guy is pretty much a loner with just a few friends, a modest apartment, and a pet dog. He doesn't own a car: he rides a motorcycle back and forth to work every night. Early one morning while on the job he discovers the bodv of a shady Chinese businessman who had an office in the building. The nolice question the janitor and then let him go. But there is a_ beautiful television reporter which he has a crush on. and to gain her interest when she in- terviews him, he lets on that he knows more than he does about the murder. This unwiltingly places both of them in a great deal of danger. As in Breaking Away, characterization is the main thing in Tesich's script. All of the characters are well-written and dimensional human beings rather than stereotvpes. Screen newcomer William Hurt nlays the night janitor in Eyewitness, and he plays the role very well This is only his second movie, having also played the scientist in Altered States. Hurt seems to have a penchant for playing offbeat but likeable heroes, and on the basis of these two nerformances, it is quite safe to assume that much more will be heard from him in the future. Sigourney Weaver also does well as the news anchor woman Hurt falls in love with Tike Hurt, Ms. Weaver is also a recen! screen newcomer, and Eyewitness is likewise her second movie. She previously was seen as the only surviving crew member in the science fiction thriller Alien Hurt and Weaver provide the ideal chemistry in Eyewitness necessary to make the film a charming romance as well as a suspense thriller.
