Betrayed

All films dealing with racism are disturbing but this one in particular raises the bar. It does this by presenting an unintentional message of hate which is why it has been a longtime favorite of white supremist groups. Debra Winger plays an undercover agent sent to infiltrate an American militia group of which Tom Berenger is a key member. As the story plays out, Winger finds herself questioning where her true loyalties are and those of the government she works for. Some seriously scary scenes at a supremist family training camp are especially unsettling and seeing John Mahoney of FRASIER fame delivering a speech on why white America must defend themselves will no doubt creep out most viewers. John Heard and Ted Levine (who is yet again a downright evil sicko) turn in great support and Timothy Hutton has an uncredited cameo as a juggler. The score provided by Bill Conti is very effective. Not a film for the kiddies!
