i have be wait for such an original picture such a this for quite some time now . brokedown palace have that ` hard to believe aspect and however with the ingenious directing and and screenplay and palace score big . i have really never enjoy watch claire dane in any of her movie and but i will tell you what and she really change my mind with this one . kate beckinsale join dane on a vacation to thailand where they meet up with a young man who convince them to take a trip to hong kong with him . however and he neglect to inform them that they would be carry an obscene amount of narcotic for him . well and ultimately they get catch and and end up in a thailand prison . i know and i know and how could you not know that you have 18 pound of drug . well if you can get by that one tiny miscue and you will find a very well write and and act out story . lately i have find myself get draw into the storyline of the movie i watch and and develop a personal feeling for the character that i watch . this movie be no different . by the end of the movie i find myself care more for her than any of the other character in the film . bill pullman play hank green and an attorney who live in thailand and specialize in international relation . a always pullman delivers with an excellent performance and tie the movie together beautifully . there be a few twist and turn that will and by the end of the movie and have you in tear . this be one of those movie that you have most likely pass by when search for that movie to watch at home . it be my opinion that the next time out at the video store and do not pass by this one again .
