Silent Witness

About This Movie

Silent Witness has this gritty, small-town feel that pulls you right in. Peter Markle directs a solid ensemble, with the lead, played by the always compelling, David Cubitt, really nailing that haunted vibe. The story circles back to high school trauma, which gives it a weight that feels personal. It’s not just a courtroom drama; it’s about confronting the past. The pacing can be deliberate, but it builds tension effectively, making you sit with the emotions instead of rushing through them. The supporting cast adds depth, especially with the interactions that reveal small-town dynamics. The production values are decent for a TV movie, and the practical effects are really minimal, but they don't detract from the performances. It’s a decent watch if you’re into character-driven narratives.
