One of the best I have seen for a long time. Eversince I watched it on TV, I always wanted to own it. One is always on the edge. The execution scene by firing squad is brilliantly filmed. The film should be an essential viewing for all those who are thinking of dabbling in drugs.
Superb acting, photography, story, direction. One can't find any fault.

This is really excellent, you'll never want to visit Thailand after watching this...!!!
Seriously though, brilliant cast with an unspoiled Nicole Kidman & the legendary Denholm Elliott. Also Hugo Weaving takes a good part.
Highly recommended.

Saw this years ago, very good film. Aslo book by S. Gregory "forget you have a daughter" shows remarkable resemblance to the film, and shows how real it could possible be in the most imfamous prision in Thailand. Will have you on the edge of your seat. Bit too long to watch in one go, but you cant stop half way through.
