Synopsis

Alice Marano and Darlene Davis have been best friends since they were children despite their differences: Alice, from a working class family, is the one always living slightly on the edge, willing to take chances which often gets her into trouble, while Darlene, from an upper middle class family, is more straight-laced and naive.

In the summer following graduation from their Midwestern high school, they want to do something big before Darlene heads off to college. Instead of a trip to safe but expensive Hawaii, Alice talks Darlene into an inexpensive eleven day trip to Thailand, the change in venue about which Darlene will not tell her parents.

In wanting to experience Thailand beyond their budget, they end up trusting the wrong person which results in them getting arrested and charged with drug smuggling in Thailand. Under the corrupt system and in not knowing the language, they end up being convicted and sentenced to thirty-three years apiece in prison, where the conditions are harsh.

They and Mr. Davis receive little help from the officials at the US Embassy, Roy Knox who likes to take the path of least resistance, which in the girls' case means not rocking the boat with the Thai authorities. Taking the advice from some of the other non-Thai inmates, they decide to reach out to and hire Henry Greene - "Hank the Yank" - an American expat lawyer, and his Thai lawyer wife, Yon Greene.

Beyond his sleazy ambulance chasing exterior, Hank, who with Yon knows the system, really has the girls' best interest at heart as he tries to get them out of prison and back to the States. What could further affect what happens to the girls is if one of them is truly guilty of knowingly smuggling the drugs, or at least somewhat culpable about the drug matter.

Robert Williams

2/10

Overall, the Brokedown Palace soundtrack falls short in creating a cohesive and impactful musical backdrop for the story. It misses the opportunity to elevate the storytelling and instead becomes a forgettable aspect of the film viewing experience.

Ronald Jackson

9/10

The soundtrack of Brokedown Palace perfectly captures the emotional journey of Alice and Darlene, from their carefree high school days to their harrowing experience in a Thai prison. Each track immerses you in the tension, fear, and hope that the girls face throughout the film.

Donna Nelson

5/10

The music during the arrest and trial scenes creates a sense of tension and desperation, reflecting the girls' feelings of fear and helplessness as they navigate through the corrupt legal system. The haunting melodies evoke a feeling of isolation and hopelessness, emphasizing the gravity of their situation and the challenges they face.

Joseph Gonzalez

The soundtrack of Brokedown Palace perfectly captures the emotional journey of the characters, from their carefree days in the beginning to the intense moments of their imprisonment. The music enhances the tension and drama of the story, making the viewer feel deeply connected to Alice and Darlene's struggles.

Paul Young

The music beautifully reflects the contrast between Alice's daring personality and Darlene's innocence, adding depth to their characters and the challenges they encounter. The haunting melodies and powerful lyrics evoke empathy for their plight, making the audience feel every twist and turn of their story.

Matthew Wilson

3/10

The Brokedown Palace soundtrack fails to capture the emotional depth and intensity of the story. The music feels generic and uninspired, lacking the ability to enhance the tension and drama of the plot.

Paul Campbell

3/10

The choice of songs in the soundtrack feels out of place and disconnected from the themes of friendship, betrayal, and survival portrayed in the film. The songs do not resonate with the characters' struggles and fail to evoke any genuine emotional response from the audience.

Charles Evans

7/10

The use of traditional Thai music in the soundtrack adds authenticity to the setting of the film and helps transport the audience to the foreign and unfamiliar world the characters find themselves in. It enriches the cultural backdrop of the story and creates a more immersive viewing experience, showcasing the beauty and complexity of Thailand's musical heritage.

George Nelson

6/10

On the other hand, the moments of camaraderie and friendship between Alice and Darlene are underscored by uplifting and melodic tracks that highlight the bond between the two friends. These moments of respite in the music provide a sense of warmth and connection amidst the bleak backdrop of the prison setting.

Jennifer Anderson

5/10

The soundtrack of Brokedown Palace effectively captures the emotional journey of Alice and Darlene, from their carefree innocence at the beginning of the film to the harsh reality of their imprisonment. The use of different musical motifs helps to convey the contrast between their Midwestern upbringing and the unfamiliar and dangerous world of Thailand.
