Review of The Betrayed (2008) by Richard C — 30 Jan 2010

I like Mellisa George always have sure she hasn't had the best luck in film choices Derailed was the pits and Amityville was just alright. But don't forget she was also Sidney's evil arch nemesis Lauren on TV's extremely under rated Alias.

that being said this straight to DVD thriller is better than most of the dreck that proceeds it. although if your in the mood for a real MG treat you should check out the fantastic "triangle".

the film centers on a young woman who wakes up after a car accident and finds that her and her son have been kidnapped. What follows is a mostly suspenseful, gripping and claustraphobic mind bender on a very low budget.

George does some solid work with her lead role and the rst of the actors fill out the slots nicely. But the film's real surprise is how tightly wound it's kept up until it's unexpected and satisfying finale.
