Brokedown Palace (1999) D: Jonathan Kaplan. Claire Danes, Kate Beckinsale, Bill Pullman, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jacqueline Kim, John Doe, Daniel Lapaine. Emotional, dramatic film about two girls vacationing in Thailand who get falsely arrested for narcotics, then get represented by a rather eccentric, obsessive attorney. Well-acted and well-paced, however the overload of soundtrack songs makes it seem like you're watching MTV. RATING: 7 out of 10. Rated PG-13 for violence, drug use, and strong language.
