Betrayed (1988)
7/10
Betrayed: Mama Send the Pistol is the Devil's Right Hand ***

Warning: Spoilers
At least, when the closing credits appear, this song is uplifting and proves that Berenger's young daughter hasn't totally been brainwashed by the cult she lives among.

Tom Berenger plays a heavy in this one where Deborah Winger, his new found girlfriend, is a federal agent penetrating a white supremacy group. He takes her to a variety of his crews exploits-mainly killing blacks and Jews.

Periodically, Winger reports back to her superior and lover John Heard and is really in for a rude awakening at the picture's end when it is determined that she has been used for the agency's other purpose. This dynamic twist really adds to this decent film.
