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.Title (Brazil): Not Available

Not a bad little psycho-drama.

Pretty clearly dealing with a low budget, this film manages to spend the money wisely, on script and actors who know how. A woman is abducted with her child, by people who want the money her husband stole from a crime syndicate. She thought he was just a struggling restaurant owner. What can she believe, and who can she trust? Set almost exclusively in the room in which she's detained, this turns into a pretty nifty little drama. There are a few plot holes, but they're minor, and didn't drive me out of the movie. The acting is occasionally stereotypical of a "type", but most of the characters are believable and well-portrayed.This is considerably better than some big-budget stuff I've seen lately - well worth a few hours of your time.
