after high school graduation and best friend alice and darlene and decide to take a trip to thailand . whilst they be there and they meet a charm australian guy name nick . after spend some time with nick and he ask them if they want to take a weekend trip to hong kong with him . they agree . at the airport though and they be get bust for smuggle drug and then get convict for 33 year in a thai prison for something they say they haven not do . not really know what to do they end contact yankee hank and an american lawyer who live in thailand with his wife . word have it that if you have the money he can help you . thing start of well and but they still can not get out . the movie be really good because it doesn not let on what go to happen and it interest all the time . i couldn not believe the end though . it be one of those ending where you do not know the 100 % truth and but you still kind of know what really happen with nick and the drug smuggling because of the own up etc . claire dane and kate beckinsale both give quite good performance here . beckinsales performance be a little weak though . both dane and beckinsales character friendship be good but could of seem stronger . paul walker even have a small uncredited role here . while ) anyway and i think brokedown palace be a good movie and i give it a positive .
