I picked this old VHS up in a charity shop because the cover made it sound like it could be okay. What a mistake! I won't bother to describe the plot as others have, but it's hard to believe "Forced Witness" came from the usually reliable Cannon/Golan-Globus team who were behind most of Chuck Norris's classics and numerous other enjoyable films. Pathetic on all levels- bad dubbing, bad acting, no violence other than a crappy fight scene, no blood, no sex other than some brief topless shots. The rape scene is not even on screen for half its duration! The police characters are really hopeless and the bad guys are just plain sad. Boring with endless scenes of tedious talk and a really mediocre subplot of the mother's relationship with her new beau and the disapproval of her son, who is a butt ugly little obnoxious creep. Don't bother at all, watch "Death Wish" or "I Spit On Your Grave" instead!
