Bangkok Hilton-The Horrifying Version

The Holding Prison
This 1989 movie is based on the infamous Kevin Barlow case in Malaysia.

The punishment for drug trafficking is death in most South-East Asian countries.

Thailand is no exception.

So, those accused for such crimes will spend their times at the Bangkok Hilton before they are tried and sentenced.

In this film, a girl looking for her father she never met was inadvertently made into a drug mule and caught at the Don Muang International Airport.

Before Matrix and Lord of the Rings

When all efforts through the legal system failed, she had to escape from the holding lock-up to leave Thailand and to seek revenge on her foe in Goa.

Beautiful scenes in Goa and UK.

You would see a young Nicole Kidman and Hugo Weaving in this movies as well as the protagonist Hal Stanton played by Denholm Elliot.

An interesting movie to watch.
