Wow, what an interesting SUPERCHICK Wednesday! A SUPERCHICK flick can be as easy as a female lead, so I pull "The Betrayed" with Melissa George listed off the shelf and pop it into the machine.
The credits roll with Debra Winger and Tom Berenger and I start wondering who this Melissa George is, where is she in this flick, did Debra have another stage name.
As it turns out, I go through the entire 2 hour movie, not watchimg "The Betrayed" BUT
"Betrayed"

Both made by MGM but apparently in the video store, LONG AGO, that this 2nd hand DVD eventually came to me from, the DVD of similar name was put in the wrong case!
It is still one heck of a SUPERCHICK movie, through and through. For that reason alone, I watched it, thru and thru, never stopping it, checking the case, checking IMDB, to try figure out what was going on between the case and DVD. It didn't even occur to me to check at that point.
Further, I like going into a flick that I know nothing about, where everything that happens is a surprise, I have no expectation of any of the characters. It's like when I checked out "From Dusk to Dawn", thinking I was getting just an ultra violent crime movie.
Back to "The Betrayed". An excellent movie though a little hard to watch, given our current political times. Just by chance, it is two movies from the 80s, on back to back nights.....and LAWs being used.
Did watch the supplied trailer afterwards, so if you watch that first, if you know what the movie is about, it's a 7.2. If you don't know what the flick is about, if you can approach learning the characters from ground zero, it's an 8.4.
