Cheesy


Jonathan Kaplan made a really stupid decision to litter this film with tedious pop music whose lyrics unsubtly mirror the events as they occur. Just awful, incredibly cheesy stuff that could only appeal to dopey teenage girls. Schlocky movies like this one are a specialty of the Lifetime network. I'm surprised it ever made it to the theaters, where it was a big fat flop (deservedly so).

Corny, plagiarized lines borrowed from every stinker B-detective movie from the 30s through the 70s ever made recycled at 5 minute intervals.

Anyone who's ever spent much time traveling can recognize the difference between common police contact and the caricatures in this cartoon.

Great basic cable perennial filler daytime material.

Just what the hell was wrong with the father's affect as he was trying to scold/yell at Alice in prison? Kind of yelling/smiling? Worst, least convincing writing played by the worst, least convincing hack in the whole cast.

The two lead actresses' demonstrated startling talent at an early age, and given another movie with an actual director, could have had a shot at a venerable piece of work--but not this blubber-fest.

Thought I'd seen his lowest but, new abysmal low for Bill Pullman.

Overall, Thai prison appears to be more fun than scary.

You've never been to Thailand nor do you know the way justice is handled there.
