Betrayed

Betrayed (1988) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Costa-Gavras and starring Debra Winger and Tom Berenger. After a Jewish Chicago radio host is found dead in a garage, the FBI sends undercover agent Cathy Phillips into a Midwest farming community — her cover: a seasonal combine driver.

Cathy falls in with Gary Hurst, a quiet widower with kids and a warm smile. The longer she stays, the harder it gets. By night Gary leads a white-supremacist cell that hunts for sport. Winger plays a woman who has to keep both feelings — the real ones and the professional ones — on a knife's edge without letting either side see the blade.

Costa-Gavras, the director behind political landmarks like Z and The Confession, turned the spy format into a cold study of ordinary-looking hatred. The film's real discomfort is not the violence but the normalcy surrounding it. Stream Betrayed (1988) online on iFILM.
