To the first half of this I thought it was going to be a complete rip- off of "Red Corner", because they had such similar plot and story. Two young girls go to Thailand and end up being arrested for something they didn't do, just like in the film I mentioned-- OK, that was in China, a different country, but it's no big difference. Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale deliver a good job in showing their acting skills, I never heard about them before but I'm glad I'm aware of their work now. They are very believable in this flick, making you feel very sorry for them throughout the whole thing. I just felt it was poorly written when the girls were worried because they tried to scape from prison, which would add 15 years to their sentence-- what does it matter when you're already sentenced to life imprisonment? Soundtrack is touching and fits well in the scenes they are used, these great songs made this rating earn 1 or 2 points. Summarizing, the film is averagely good and the ending will make you feel very sad and moved for these girls...
