in the film brokedown palace and direct by jonathan kaplan and two best friend and alice ( claire dane ) and darlene ( kate beckinsale ) decide to celebrate high school graduation by take a trip to hawaii and but hear that bangkok and thailand and be much more fun . they switch plan and decide to go to thailand without tell their parent the change of plan . while they be in thailand and alice and darlene meet a really handsome guy name nick park ( daniel lapaine ) . he tell them that he would trade in his first class ticket to hong kong for three economy ticket so that they could spend the weekend in hong kong . they accept his offer and upon enter the airport the two be arrest for smuggle drug . they be convict and sentence to thirty three year in prison . i think kaplan be try to show the audience that it be wise to make good decision because in one instance one bad decision can change the direction of a life forever . also and a friendly face may not be as friendly a we think once we find out the real intention of that friendly face . those girl make a decision not to tell their parent that they have switch their plan and it change their life forever . thing have a funny way of happen show u what decision we have make verse the decision that we should have make . sometimes life be not fair and that be why it be important to think long and hard about the choice that we make because we can never go back and change the choice that we have make . this movie have a great setting while it be film mostly in bangkok thailand . this film also have great music while a few of my favorite song be silence by delerium and damage by plumb and deliver me by sarah bightman and party just begin by nelly furtado . i go out and buy the soundtrack after watch this film . these girl where young and naive and fail to think their plan out thoroughly and a mistake that anyone could make and therefore this film be good for any audience . it make no difference young or old we all be human and subject to mistake . even though and i do not like the way this film end leave me in question of who really smuggle the drug . i would definitely give this film two thumb up .
