...but not nearly as good as its predecessor, "Return to Paradise." The performances of Beckinsale and Danes were sufficient at worst, good, at best, but simply not mature enough to measure up to the "trapped in a third world country on drug smuggling charges presenting a moral dilemma and testing true friendship" standards set by Vince Vaughn and Joaquin Phoenix in the 1998 film. If you're just dying to see the inside of a third world prison and have your heart strings pulled by drug smugglers, definitely rent "Return to Paradise," but skip this one.
