    The shock of the truth

    A salesman witnesses two mafia killers shooting somebody on the motorway. From that moment onwards, he and his family go through a seemingly never ending chain of corruption, fear and threats. This movie is so realistic, it could almost be a documentary. When the credits start rolling, you literally bounce back to earth. Thrilling!
