action
Havana and Peter commit a robbery after which they flee towards the Canadian border. On the way they visit Peter's hometown, which is inhabited by strictly religious people. The place looks like a Hutterite colony, but the image of the inhabitants is completely distorted. Peter - the only one who knows where the prey is hiding - dies in a car accident. The locals believe that according to a biblical law Havana should marry Peter's underage brother. Havana apparently agrees to this in order to be able to stay in town. She later finds the money and leaves town with her underage husband.
Havana and the boy travel to the location of the robbery, where she asks the boy to return the leftover money. She is being pursued by an FBI agent whom the boy overpowers. The police arrested her and the boy, who was offered $ 25,000 as a reward for getting the money back. Instead, he asks that Havana be released. In the end, he and Havana say goodbye.

Reviews
Derek Adams wrote in Time Out London that mixing The Only Witness with a " rock and roll film" would discourage even a more inventive director. Arquette seems alive, but confused.
Film-Dienst wrote that the film was a "trivial version of The Taming of the Shrew " and a "reasonably entertaining action comedy with a few tired jokes, against whose lack of ideas and unimagination even the good leading actress could not allude" .
The two authors Rod Janzen and Max Stanton state in their book The Hutterites in North America : "The film conveys a very inaccurate picture of the Hutterites" (Original English quote: "The film [...] provides a very inaccurate portrait of Hutterites") .
