| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about No Witness |
|---|
When crooked Senator Gene Haskell (Jeff Fahey), already facing an uphill battle for re-election, becomes the focus of a corruption probe and a pending indictment, he knows he needs to tie up some loose ends.
An aide (Corey Feldman) is dispatched to a local bar, where professional killer Paul Arkadian (Steve Barnes) is hired to remove the drug dealing brothers (Ron Clinton Smith, Dikran Tulaine, and Pete Wellborn) who might testify at the trial.
Also potentially on the block is Celeste Cartier (Marisa Petroro), an underage mistress of the senator's with dreams of marriage. The only problem is that the senator just wants Celeste to disappear for a weeks, and Paul is very committed to the idea of leaving no witness...
