Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Joe Eszterhas' book "Hollywood Animal," everybody on set was afraid of Debra Winger as she was known for having a difficult temper, but Winger proved the rumors to be wrong. Tom Berenger was so intimidated by her that Winger had to make coffee for him and kid with him the entire time to put him on ease. Winger also spent one entire night playing poker with the crew to ease them. By the end of the shoot everybody was in love with her.
- GoofsReversed footage: As the family arrives to the camp site, smoke falls downwards from the sky to the torches.
- Quotes
Gary Simmons: [after the murder of a black man] Come on, Katie. Come on now. Just a nigger. Don't make too much out of it. There's plenty more where he came from.
Featured review
Chilling movie about man's dualistic personality
I've seen Betrayed for three times now, and each time it just gets better and better.
Tom Berenger is excellent as Gary Simmons. He is perfect for the role, that requires in-depth understanding about love and hate. This man loves his family dearly and is extremely loyal to things he believes to be justified, and at the same time he is capable of doing most savage deeds towards other people he think are sub-human. Simmons is so cold and yet such a nice man at the same time it makes my blood freeze in my veins.
Also Debra Winger is great as Katie Phillips. She finds herself falling in love with this man and then realizes that everything is not so perfect she thought it was. Her disappointment is almost palpable. I highly recommend this movie to all, who wonder with amazement the dark sides of human nature.
