Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I-Am-The-Movie-Addict 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?

Jess Smith Great! Very intense. One of Nicole Kidman's finest roles. 1989's Bangkok Hilton is everything 1999's Brokedown Palace isn't. It's a well-written story with wonderfully crafted characters. Kidman is spot on throughout the film; a very convincing portrayal of a young woman whose life begins and almost ends when she sets off in search of her father. The supporting cast: Denholm Elliot (from the Indiana Jones series) and Hugo Weaving (The Matrix) are wonderful in their supporting roles. Highly recommended viewing. 5 stars.One of Nicole Kidman's finest roles. 1989's Bangkok Hilton is everything 1999's Brokedown Palace isn't.

acfielding I loved this TV mini-series when I saw this many years ago. It is a wonderful story on multiple levels. It is about a girl Kat (played by Nicole Kidman when she still had very curly hair) searching for her father, and the trouble she gets herself into when she trusts, and is "set up" and abandoned, by a travelling companion. It is also educational in alerting all to the extreme dangers of trusting strangers. The characters are real and well portrayed. There is a good deal of suspense and insight into the legal and prison system in Thailand. I would love to see it again, or purchase the DVD. I don't understand why it apparently was not released in the US?

kyranthis Bangkok Hilton is a stunning series. Denholm Elliot gives one of the finest acting performances I've ever seen, and the plot has you gripped from the first episode right until the wonderful finish. It's been many many years since the BBC last showed it, though: a great shame!
