    A rather engaging story.

    By today's standards, it probably feels a little clunky in parts, but as a story, it's one that could be easily reimagined now, or in the future. A woman literally held captive, with a diabetic son in toe, it's a simple, but effective story, you are made to keep guessing until the end, just who, what and why.

    Pretty well acted, with a young Melissa George excellent as always, and a tiny, but effective scene from Alice Krige.

    I enjoyed the air of mystery, I liked the acting. I would say with certainty that this is a solid, entertaining film. 7/10

    Captivity and Betrayal

    After a car accident with an apparent hit and run, Jamie (Melissa George) finds trapped in a warehouse without her diabetic son Michael (Connor Levins) that is missing. Soon her captor named Alek (Oded Fehr) comes to the room wearing a mask and explains to Jamie that her married life had been an entire lie and her husband Kevin (Christian Campbell) had stolen forty million-dollars from his cruel boss Falco (Alice Krige) and three other drug lords from the crime syndicate. The reluctant Jaime does not believe in his words and asks him to prove that Michael is alive. Alek shows audio tapes of Michael and then from her house that has been bugged since she married Kevin. Further, he tells that if Jaime does not find any lead to the stolen money he will kill Michael and her. Jamie hears the tapes expecting to save the life of Michael. Was she betrayed by Kevin or is Alek lying?

    "The Betrayed" is an engaging thriller about captivity and betrayal with many plot points. The movie holds the attention and the viewer is never sure who is lying. Melissa George has a magnificent performance and the conclusion has flaws but does not disappoint. My vote is seven.

    Excellent movie:

    Well the preceding review seems to have been written by the director's ex, because this is a really good movie. Excellent performance from all the cast, impressive dialogue and story keeps you guessing till the very end. Am just glad I trusted the video preview rather than their review and it's really sad to see efforts as good as this being panned so terribly. it really is unfair to the makers of the movie.

    Doesn't take itself too serious and it's kept me up through the middle of the night, believe me that's some feat. The last low budget (relatively) movie I saw that was as good as this is The Mist.

    If this is a one star out of ten for anyone then the Heavens will have to come down for any movie to be worth a two star for them. WATCH THIS MOVIE ASAP and you won't regret it!!!!!!!!!!

    Excellent film, lots of suspense and keeps you guessing all the time...very recommend it

    this is a very nicely done film, it has all the things of a nice suspense movie...nice and interesting plot and it keeps you guessing all the time, so don't loose any detail of the movie...i believe Melissa George played very well, she might not be the greatest actress in Hollywood but she has done well in this movie, i also saw her in 30 days of night and she wasn't bad at all.

    i can't believe how low the votes are in IMDb... for sure i will give this movie 9 out of 10... i think the director made a great job here, i am not familiar with any other movie she did, but i will sure check them out.

    check this movie out for yourselves and you will see... you will not be disappointed.

    The Betrayed: Pretty cookie cutter thriller

    For whatever reason I put The Betrayed on because I mistakenly believed it to be a horror, rest assured it most certainly isn't.

    Starring Australian actress Melissa "30 Days of Night" George it's a thriller and a very routine one at that. It tells the story of a woman who is kidnapped and interrogated for information she doesn't have. She must find it in herself to rise above her captors and find a way to escape.

    So, nothing even remotely new. Her methods, the antagonist, the plot in general is timeless, cliched and very predictable stuff. I assumed multiple times throughout the film that it was about to throw me a curveball and it couldn't possibly be this generic, but it really is.

    Also starring Oded "Resident Evil" Fehr and Alice" Borg Queen" Krige if you're watching for the latter let me warn you you'll not be happy with her contribution.

    The Betrayed isn't bad, it's just so unoriginal and so overwhelmingly cookie cutter it's almost offensive. Like a filmmaker just decided to throw something together and whip a movie up fast for a timed release.

    The Good:

    At least you'll know exactly what to expect

    The Bad:

    George simply isn't leading lady material

    Incredibly unoriginal stuff

      Just before the police officer arrives the first time, Jaime uses her wedding ring to cut through the plastic zip-tie on her wrist, and then shoves the ring and zip-tie down the water drain. Later in the movie, when her husband comes back and is trying to talk her into giving him the money, Jamie is wearing her wedding ring again.
