Watch: Eyewitness 1981 123movies, Full Movie Online – Fresh off the success of Breaking Away (1979), writer Steve Tesich and director Peter Yates re-team on a thriller starring a young William Hurt as a janitor infatuated with television reporter Sigourney Weaver. When she arrives at his building to interview the tenants about a murder that’s occurred on the premises, the janitor, having discovered the body, implies that he knows more than he’s saying in order to keep the newswoman interested. Although he reveals nothing more, she does become interested in him, and when her nefarious aristocratic boyfriend (Christopher Plummer) learns from the unwitting woman that there’s someone with knowledge of the murder, he’s more concerned about what Hurt might know than about her relationship with him. Meanwhile, his paranoid, loose cannon of a friend James Woods has managed to get himself incriminated, although he had no involvement in the case. Hurt and Weaver continue to investigate the murder together, and as they become more closely entwined, both of their lives are put in jeopardy..
Plot: Daryll Deever is a janitor in an office building in New York, and a big fan of TV news reporter, Tony Sokolow. When a rich man is murdered in Daryll’s building, Tony comes to cover the story and Daryll introduces himself to her. Thinking he may know something about the crime, Tony pursues him, and in order to keep seeing her, he pretends that he does. As the two of them play this game, the killers are watching, assuming that Daryll and Tony both know more about the crime than they do.

Reviews:

Lots of big names, how come I never heard of this film?
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.

Collossal waste of good actors
This is the dullest and thinnest plot ever. Painfully contrived with implausible coincidences and connections.

I hope Weaver and Hurt made a lot of money off this.

Its so bland I have trouble getting the minimum characters to post.
