    The heart of the film is in the performances of Danes and Beckinsale after they're sent to prison.

    This is not a fantastic movie. But there's more to it than just an MTV-slickified "Midnight Express" starring two young, photogenic stars.

    The movie, directed by veteran Jonathan Kaplan, has enough in common with such American-in-foreign-jail movies as "Midnight Express" and the recent "Return to Paradise" to make you wonder why it ever got made.

    An exploitation flick, but without the thrills or cleavage.
