Betrayal

Hard to pass up a movie with Elena Eleniak and another hottie (Julie Du Page), late on a Sunday night with nothing much else on, and TiVo often knows what I like, so I watched Betrayal (issued on DVD and cable as Lady Jayne: Killer). Sadly, Eleniak never so much as took off her shirt and Du Page only got down to her panties and bra once, early on.

This is certainly a ‘B movie’ and the kind of film that makes you wonder about the business judgement of film company executives; in any case, director Mark Lester has certainly made a career out of such decisions. Here we have a basic plot: mafia hitwoman (Du Page) has the chance to grab a briefcase holding $1 million, she does but somehow hooks up with Eleniak and teen son for a road trip to Texas, the mafioso and a corrupt cop find where they’ve headed and the day is saved, sort of, when FBI agent James Remar makes his play.
