Highly Overrated But Still Good

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Calling this an opportunity or a distant desire to review this long lost series from the public eye and about a show that (one of my favorite, and revered actresses' of all time and highly adorable and practical) Nicole Kidman did before the world came to knew her through her films, this one definitely needs a view worth of your eyes.Before I go on with my review, I would like to tell that there many versions roaming in the market, while there are two main versions i.e., a set of 3 episodes and a set of them into 6 episodes (LATTER OF WHICH I GOT HOLD OF), so there's no difference in both of them, but I decided to let to know beforehand.The show revolves around Katrina Stanton as Nicole Kidman, a young innocent woman who is in for her long-estranged father but gets entrapped in the web of lies and brutality, when she becomes a pawn in a drug smuggling when one of the the smugglers encharms her, unbeknownst to her, she gets caught as a result at the Bangkok airport and then in the Bangkok Hilton prison (a fictional name to Hanoi Hilton) and how her struggles and the people (including her father in disguise) who help her, try to get her out of the mess. Now, my review, to this show that is looked upright to all the people who have grown watching this during the time it release (1989),You might find it dull, inferior to contemporary styles, inconsistent at places but wont disagree to me, that, it is a well made series looking at its time and how shows like this dealt such topics and how without turning mediocre, give a great deal for a time of 4 hours and more few minutes. Plus, you wouldn't ignore the musical score it plays behind and how awesome it is and how it haunts and enchants you even later and when you have watched the series.At last, do go and get a DVD and decide yourself that haven't I got you a great deal for the money with something different?

I can't believe how good this miniseries was in light of the fact that Nicole Kidman has been in some stinkers of movies since then. This is her best acting ever. One mistake I did notice though is when Kat goes through the garbage chute and is in the tunnels below the hospital, she kicks off her shoes and kicks them aside as they are impeding her progress. When she meets up with Hal in the tunnel, the shoes are back on her feet. Did anyone else notice? Wonderful story, very well acted. I thought Nicole's character was very well written and she showed an amazing strength of character considering her upbringing by her very cold mother and grandmother. Arkie's character reminds me of certain men I have observed in life who use their good looks and charisma to lure women into doing their bidding and have absolutely no feeling for these women and no remorse for the terrible suffering they cause. This miniseries will stay in your mind long after you have watched it.

You have to see this movie! As it was said in the other comment, the story is very exciting and the play of the actors is just super! I was, however, very surprised to see there was only one comment on this movie! Haven't you seen this? I can guarantee that after seeing this one you will definitely want to stay our of jail and away from Thailand. Trust my word! The story is very beautiful and there's no way to tell for sure how it will end (if you haven't seen it before). If you like adventure and close to truth stories then this one is for you. Can suggest you also to see "If tomorrow comes" with Tom Berenger and "Shawshank redemption"!! Just marvelous!

I won't drivel on... blah blah, best TV miniseries I've ever seen... blah blah, Nicole Kidman's best work... all the other reviews say that too. What the others haven't mentioned is the emotionally draining, nerve-wracking and brilliant performance given by little Aussie actress Joy Smithers as Mandy Engels, the woman who befriends Katrina in prison. Very, very impressive.
