More About Betrayed
Awakening in a dark room after being knocked unconscious, a woman realizes that she’s been kidnapped and must frantically put her life back together in order to save the lives of her family in The Betrayed, making its gripping DVD debut June 30th, from MGM Home Entertainment. Golden Globe nominee Melissa George (In Treatment, Alias) stars as Jamie Taylor, a young woman who regains consciousness after a bad accident and finds herself held captive. A man looms overhead, telling her that if she wishes to ever see her little boy again, she must make the ultimate sacrifice – to kill her husband. The kidnappers insist that he is actually a brutal killer who has stolen millions from their mysterious crime syndicate. With her marriage upended, her son’s life in jeopardy and no idea who she can trust, Jamie must attempt to piece together clues from her past life in an attempt to locate the stolen money and be reunited with her son before it’s too late. Betrayed has a powerful supporting cast that includes Oded Fehr (Resident Evil, Sleeper Cell) and Christian Campbell (The Book of Daniel).
Synopsis
Waking up in a dark room after being knocked unconscious in a car accident and her young son nowhere in sight, Jamie Taylor (Melissa George), realizes that she has been kidnapped. Her masked captor (Oded Fehr) informs her that if she ever hopes to see her son alive again, she must help his mysterious employers. However, they’re not looking to collect a ransom; instead, the man reveals that Jamie’s husband is secretly a brutal killer who recently stole millions from his bosses. The organization will stop at nothing to retrieve the missing money, and they think that their captive is the one person who can help them find it. Chained to a grate in a cold, dark room, with her marriage upended, her son’s life in jeopardy and no idea who she can trust, Jamie must attempt to piece together clues from the life she thought she knew in order to escape this nightmare and save the lives of her beloved family.

The Silence of the Lambs. Clarice’s frantic search for the girl kidnapped by Buffalo Bill still gives me chills every time I see it. Thank you for the chance to win.
Taken was my favorite.
My favorite kidnap drama is “Taken”
Lots of kids were taken in “Indiana Jones & the Temple Of Doom.” I liked that movie. If that doesn’t count, I would say “Man On Fire.” That was good too.
fargo! does fargo count? fargo.
Fargo!!!
I love Misery. Fabulous movie! Thanks!
Ransom by far, but the Taken was a great movie to
There are so many; I gotta go with Fargo and The Vanishing. Thank you!
ransom
Either Misery or Fargo
looks good thanks
Ransom was great
Misery, just for the horror scene
Taken. Sure, it was silly and he’d never have survived half the sots he took..but hell, it was fun.
Ransom! It was so on the edge of your seat exciting. Thanks for the chance.
We enjoyed Taken. Thanks.
Ransom
Taken

I like Ransom!
I would have to say Firewall with Harrison Ford. My favorite
I’d love to wn this one!
Tony Scott’s “Man On Fire”. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Taken
My favorite thriller of a kidnapping is Cape Fear. The plot was very intensifying and I have to say the actors and actresses performed very well.
Missing
My favorite kidnap drama has to be Misery- great acting and a great/scary story.
Taken
Ransom!
The Vanishing
taken is also my movie
I reall liked “Taken” with Liam Neesom.
My favorite kidnap drama/comedy is Home Alone!
Sounds intense.
Fargo
The Betrayed.
My current favorite kidnap drama is Taken, which I saw recently. Some of it is farfetched, but Liam Neeson does such a great acting job that you barely realize the outlandish parts, since he has both power and vulnerability! Thanks for the chance to win The Betrayed!
I’d have to say TAKEN is definitely now my favorite kidnap drama.
I’d argue that Catch a Thief is the best kidnap thriller ever.
There are so many of them that I would say the last ransom drama I saw is clearest in my memory namely Man On Fire.
I like Ransom but I haven’t seen Taken yet and I’ve heard great things about it.
last year’s TAKEN is now my favorite kidnap thriller movie!!!
My favourite Kidnapping Drama is MISERY! I will never forget it because hubby and I rented it on July 30 1991 and about ten minutes into the movie I went into labour with my 2nd daughter! We came home with a new baby and watched it the next day!
Thanks
THANKS
MISERY – hands down! When Kathy Bates whacks James Caan’s ankles, OMG! I think my feet hurt for a week!

My favorite was Ransom!
