Brokedown Palace
Credits: Directed by Jonathan Kaplan and starring Kate Beckinsale, Claire Danes, Bill Pullman, Jacqueline Kim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lou Diamond Phillips and Daniel Lapaine.
Details: (M), 100 mins, United States,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], English
Synopsis: High school buddies Alice (Claire Danes) and Darlene (Kate Beckinsale) set off for a holiday adventure in Thailand, full of youthful exuberance and the naïve innocence of middle class America. In a joyride escapade at a five star Bangkok hotel swimming pool, they meet a handsome young Australian, Nick (Daniel Lapaine) who charms his way into their confidence - and into one of their beds. His offer of a few days in Hong Kong with him (while he is there on business) seems too good to refuse. But at Bangkok airport, the girls are arrested for drug trafficking and their adventure turns into the ordeal of their lives. From prison, they contact expat American lawyer, Hank Greene (Bill Pullman) who may or may not be of much use, but given a fat fee,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he and his Thai wife (Jacqueline Kim) can try; Bangkok is not middle America.
Genres: Drama
Alice, Claire Danes, is the kind of young woman who likes to take risks. Instead of having a holiday in Hawaii when she graduates from High School she persuades her best friend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Darlene, Kate Beckinsale, the brighter of the two,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also quieter and more sensitive, to come with her to Bangkok - a more exciting destination. Soon the girls meet Australian Nick Parks, Daniel Lapaine, who seduces the shy Darlene rather than the more available Alice - and persuades both girls to meet him in Hong Kong. At the airport they`re arrested - for carrying heroin - and their nightmare begins.
This is another Bangkok Hilton story, a cautionary tale for gullible young people traveling in Asia. Danes and Beckinsale are both extremely good as the well-contrasted friends. Less believable are Bill Pullman as a mercenary American lawyer based in Thailand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lou Diamond Phillips as a US Embassy official who is mysteriously determined not to rock any boats. The film isn`t exactly an entertaining night at the movies, but it`s worth seeing for the strength and conviction of its two leads.
