Leave your thoughts about Brokedown Palace.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakBrokedown Palace does have some plot implausibilities but Kaplan, manages to turn some hashed story lines into something substantial and emotionally affecting. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe heart of the film is in the performances of Danes and Beckinsale after they're sent to prison. |
| Entertainment WeeklyJoshua RichIt's strangely enjoyable to see her(Danes) and Beckinsale busted on a bogus heroin-smuggling rap and thrown in the slammer with bad 'dos and no makeup. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyIt's close to a no-win situation dramatically, culturally and politically, and Kaplan deals with it plausibly enough by concentrating on the performances and the interior conflicts they reveal. |
| NewsweekLaura ShinThe plotting could use some finessing, but fine acting makes this film worthwhile. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenBrokedown Palace is good enough so that you wish it were better. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanfordabout as thrilling as a long line at customs. The screenplay (is)apparently based on those recorded warnings played in airports... Danes and Beckinsale struggle to bring some conviction to a story sorely in need of it. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThis is not a fantastic movie. But there's more to it than just an MTV-slickified "Midnight Express" starring two young, photogenic stars. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghOverall it's a colorful, diverting cautionary tale. |
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamThe specifics of their predicament are well handled -- being thrown in a Third World prison may be every tourist's nightmare -- even if the movie eventually goes soft and squishy. |
