Rhodes (Jeff Daniels) is an American human rights activist who has come to a small Mexican border town to help oversee union elections at a factory owned by a United States firm. While in Mexico, Rhodes learns that things have not been quiet around town lately -- a number of people were found shot dead in a tunnel just across the border in the States, and a pair of Californians who came to Mexico to do some trail riding have disappeared without a trace. Rhodes has a hunch the recent crimes may have something to do with the hotly contested upcoming election, and with the permission of a pal from the State Department (James Spader), he joins up with Castillo (Clifton Collins Jr.), a police detective who is looking into the tunnel deaths. I Witness also co-stars Portia de Rossi. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...James Spader is undoubtedly at his scene-stealing best here as a smarmy government agent.

Brian Webster, Apollo Guide
Verging on 'so bad it's fun to watch' territory, I Witness doesn't quite make it there either.
