Um þessa kvikmynd

In the early 1980's a war raged between Sicilian mafia bosses over the heroin trade. Tommaso Buscetta, a made man, fled to Brazil to hide out. Back home, scores are being settled and Buscetta watches from afar as his sons and brother are killed in Palermo, knowing he may be next. Soon he’s arrested and extradited back to Italy by the Brazilian police. Buscetta then makes a decision that will change everything for himself and the Mafia: he decides to betray the eternal vow he made to the Cosa Nostra and talk.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Google plays subtitles of this movie are atrocious, I have been left infuriated at only receiving around a third of the actual dialogue as closed captions, as a result hardly any of the conversations in The Traitor make sense. Very disappointed

Interesting, worth watching to get a feel for the complexities of Buschetta's testimonies, and for the courage of Judge Falcone.

crime does not pay ;)
