Directed by Costa-Gavras
USA /
Japan 1988
After a Jewish radio host is murdered, FBI agent Cathy Weaver (Debra Winger) is
sent undercover to infiltrate a close-knit farming community believed to be
harbouring the men responsible. She soon meets and falls for local farmer Gary
Simmons (Tom Berenger) a well-respected Vietnam veteran, but it's not long
before her suspicions are aroused. Realising that Simmons is leading a
double-life as the leader of a white supremacist group, responsible for a series
of brutal crimes, Agent Weaver must decide where her loyalties lie, with the man
she loves or the country she swore to protect. *** Director Costa-Gavras (Missing) weaves an intricate tale of deception in the Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct) scripted thriller Betrayed. Debra Winger (Terms of Endearment) stars as FBI agent Cathy Weaver, an undercover agent assigned to weed out a right-wing terrorist group suspected of murdering a high profile, left-leaning talk show host. The conflicted Weaver, who s gone undercover as an itinerant farm worker, sees her loyalties tested when she falls in love with Gary Simmons (Tom Berenger, Platoon), a farmer who may be complicit in the murder. Betrayed also stars John Heard (Big), John Mahoney (Eight Men Out), Ted Levine (The Silence of the Lambs), Betsy Blair (Marty), David Clennon (Gone Girl) and Richard Libertini (Days of Heaven).

NOTE:
The below
Blu-ray
captures were taken directly from the
Blu-ray
disc.
On their
Blu-ray,
BFI use a linear PCM mono track (24-bit) in the original English
language. There are some penetrating gun effects and a subtly
underplayed score by
Bill
Conti (The
Big Fix,
The
Seduction of Joe Tynan,
Neighbors,
The
Right Stuff, Rocky,
Harry and Tonto,
For Your Eyes Only) ),
both sounding clean and deep in the uncompressed. BFI offer optional English subtitles
(SDH) on their
Region 'B'
Blu-ray.
I always find Betrayed an uncomfortable film. Can anyone - who we
have absolutely no reason to suspect - be exposed as a radical bigot? |
