Eyewitness

As I watched it, half an hour in I realized why I never heard of it...the storyline is all over the place, and the character motivations make zero sense. I have no problem with a janitor being the lead character, but his occupation isn't his life, even though the film keeps hitting us over the head with it. A fired James Woods begs for his job back, aren't there like a million janitor jobs out there? Sigourney Weaver isn't given much to work with, her character is either very bright or very dumb, though the film continuously implies the latter. The thing with the dog was confusing, weird, and pointless, perhaps a metaphor for the film as a whole. I sometimes get a kick out of seeing actors who reunite in other films, and here we see James Woods and Steven Hill, who were both in The Boost, a much more fascinating 1980s film.
