Parents' Guide to Betrayal

Parents need to know that Betrayal (also known as Kill in some territories) is a British psychological thriller that revolves around a trio of brothers whose attempts to kill their abusive father spirals out of control. The movie's tone is bleak and unforgiving, with several action sequences involving guns and knives resulting in bloody violence and death. The characters, most notably John (Brian Vernal), struggle to process the grief and trauma of growing up in a household where the threat of domestic violence hangs heavy. Swearing is constant, most commonly with variations of "f--k." While no sex features, the three brothers at one point strip to their underwear to remove blood-stained clothing. John and his brothers, Henry (Daniel Portman) and Vince (Calum Ross), drink to excess in one scene as a way of processing their grief and trauma after a violent act. Like many of their actions, this is shown in a negative light.
