in Rio, shot in "real-time" and absolutely pulling no punches.
A distraught, obviously emotionally disturbed man pulls a gun on a crowded bus, threatening its passengers (a robbery gone bad). A standoff of many hours ensues with the bus surrounded by many police, sharpshooters, and massive crowds.
You'll never forget the film; it's incredible ending couldn't be more dramatic were it fiction.
