The concept of Americans being thrown into foreign jails by dastardly Third Worlders isn't exactly an original one down Hollywood way. However, 'Brokedown Palace' offers a teenage girlie slant on the formula, pitching Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale as two high school chums conned into smuggling drugs through Thai customs. They've barely arrived at the airport when they're busted, carted off to court, and swiftly sentenced to 33 years in a Bangkok Prison. Of course, knowing how these sorts of films generally work, it's not at all surprising to find that the girl's case is riddled with inside-corruption - - so step forward Bill Pullman as "Yankee Hank", an American lawyer who apparently knows the Thai legal system like the back of his hand. The plot has several holes which tend to detract from its credibility. It's also a little too short to do itself justice, and ends up skimming over points that you can't help but feel should be made more prominent. The harshness of the jail, for example, isn't emphasised enough. However the performances of the two young leads (this is possibly Danes' best display to date), Make this film worthwhile and i throughly enjoyed watching it. It was Intense, and gripping and i was hooked from start to finish.Read full review
