It'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. Full Review

Chicago Tribune

The movie, directed by veteran Jonathan Kaplan, has enough in common with such American-in-foreign-jail movies as "Midnight Express" and the recent "Return to Paradise" to make you wonder why it ever got made. Full Review

This is one of those movies that I loved because of the stars in the movie, but hated because the characters were so dumb. Then you read a story in the news and hear about someone from the west who is arrested for just this very thing, Drugs... Read and rate it
