英文影评：
Harrison Ford plays John Book, a Philadelphia detective who is assigned to take charge of a witness to a murder involving a police officer. The witness is Samuel Lapp (Lukas Haas), a young Amish boy. When Book discovers that certain members of the police force are responsible for the crime, Ford flees with the boy and his mother (Kelly McGillis) to hide in Amish country.
Superb director Peter Weir, brings excellent direction to the film and draws top-notch performances from the cast. Notably, Ford and McGillis, both of whom have given arguably their best performances. The subplot involving the romantic tension developing between Ford and McGillis is masterfully underplayed in the film. The filmmakers could have turned this love story into standard Hollywood romantic fluff. Instead, we see two characters that are in love, but cannot express it partly due to the completely different lives they lead.
Perhaps, the one most notable flaw in the film can be found in the subplot involving the conspiracy within the police force. These under-developed characters are simply reduced to being the 'bad guys' and nothing more. No matter, the film is at its best when it examines the cultural differences that exist between these two worlds. The result is a touching and, yet gripping, film.
