I usually don't talk about reviews by other users but a reviewer of this movie has said about another user that he could be the director's ex to review it just one star. Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Anyway, the movie wasn't that bad. The acting by almost everyone was very good. I just have the problem with the script. It wasn't badly written but I just found a few things stupid. Spoiler Alert: 1. The brick in the room comes off conveniently for her to check next room. 2. No huge twists. From the start of the movie we are told that the husband is a betrayer and after that, that fact never changes throughout the movie. When he finally talks to her, maybe we are supposed to think he wasn't wrong but he mentions the money way too early. 3. I may be confused but why won't Alec type the username & password himself instead of writing it to her? Maybe he didn't have enough time? 4. Transfer happens at the last minute: Things like these have been done so many times in the movies that they don't thrill me any more. 5. Then the site conveniently goes down for maintenance after all that: Awesome. 6. All that & she managed to change the password. 7. Everything (transfer & all) is done right before Falco arrives: Another "action done at the last minute" thing. 7. Alek tries to shoot Falco & it seems that she ducks to avoid a bullet although she's very close & if she got her arm shot, she gets up without even cringing? 8. Alec conveniently lives on after being shot so he could talk to Jamie in the end and/or is not shot again by Kevin even after opening his mouth.But other than those things the movie was very interesting & I didn't feel like turning it off. There were a few things I liked too, but I won't mention them.

As a minimalist, ultra low-budget (then again, if my friends and I made this with the budget listed here, we may well have had $3.4 million left in the kitty for our next flick), virtually one-room set film, THE BETRAYED sort of commands attention for its 98-minute running time. If its stated setting was Burnaby, British Columbia, the viewer could think: "Oh yeah, these keystone crooks are kind of plausible in a region where the populace evidently is NOT aware that their national guard won independence 141 years earlier, since they haven't updated a name that specifically denotes their ancestors' colonial masters from centuries earlier. Let's give these confused Britons and Colombians the benefit of the doubt, and rate this tale from backwards Burnaby at 7 of 10, since having all the main characters behaving as clueless dolts would not pass the suspension-of-disbelief test for Philadelphia--or Peoria, but who really knows if or when the 21st Century level of civilization will reach Burnaby."However, with their understandably massive inferiority complex, the Canadian filmmakers have once again chosen for about the millionth time to try to foist off the doings of unsophisticated blunderers as actions which become totally incredible for mobsters, computer science majors, and police officers who are products of American public schools. Ten people are shot to death during THE BETRAYED, with the title no doubt meant to refer to how each one submits to his death like a sheep going to slaughter--even the character who has already gunned down two cops and six fellow mobsters. If you asked them WHY they were so blind-sided, their only possible reply would be, "because the script betrayed me." If you watch BLOOD SIMPLE or FARGO by the Coen brothers, you will see that master filmmakers leave themselves an out when there is lots of misguided mayhem, by portraying their characters as hicks operating in the boondocks. Conversely, Coppola would not make a savvy urban mob boss (think Marlon Brando in GODFATHER) stare into an underling's revolver for half a minute, doing some sort of internal Hamlet "to be, or not to be" monologue, when they could save themselves by just pulling their own trigger! Sure, Philadelphia had Rocky, but even Cousin Paulie could have gotten the drop on these Burnaby bums.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!
