Betrayed (2014 TV Movie)
3/10
Most TV show episodes are better
9 August 2021
Not sure why this was a movie. The plot could have been realized in a 45 minute tv episode of any of the current police dramas. It gains nothing by being stretched to fill 90 minutes.

The poor acting did nothing to elevate the weak, soap opera quality script. The camera work was soap opera level, too, with actors delivering monologues while facing a wall so we can see the face of the listener as they speak.

While none of the cast are talents, they are attractive people who appear to be giving it their all. A skilled director could have elicited a passable performance. Sadly, that is not the case here. Emotions turn on like a light switch and just as quickly turn off. The couple goes from happy to sad to excited to depressed to in love to questioning their relationship and back again in the course of five minutes.

A few stars for the Cape Cod outdoor shots. The rest doesn't deserve a star.

Three stars.
