 Brokedown Palace Brokedown Palace Quote: Brokedown Palace is a 1999 American drama film directed by Jonathan Kaplan, and starring Claire Danes, Kate Beckinsale and Bill Pullman. It deals with two American friends imprisoned in Thailand for drug smuggling. Because it presents a critical view of the Thai legal system, most scenes were filmed in the Philippines; however, some panoramas and views were filmed in Bangkok. Its title is taken from a Grateful Dead song written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter from their 1970 album American Beauty.

Re: Brokedown Palace Maybe a bit sensationalist, but still very compelling and touching in the vein of Midnight Express and Return to Paradise.

Re: Brokedown Palace I saw it theatrically. I thought it was great. Claire Danes was terrific in it and the ending was very powerful.

Re: Brokedown Palace I saw this in theaters too. It was all a bit too "TV movie of the week" for me, but Danes and Beckinsale were solid and better than the material.
