Betrayed (1988)

Following some of the themes from my most recent watch (FBI agents, terrorism, undercover agents), here we have Debra Winger as an FBI agent infiltrating a farming community filled with white supremacists. She meets and falls in love with Tom Berenger while on assignment and things then start to turn bad for her. I gained a new appreciation for Winger’s work as she really boosts the quality of the story. John Mahoney and Ted Levine are creepy as some of the members of the local cell. There are some seemingly over the top events undertaken by the supremacists, though I might be too naïve here and need reminding that I live in a nation where Black men are shot by gangs of white men just for jogging on their street and militia groups plot to kidnap sitting governors.
