Original Sin belongs in the "so bad it's good" category of languid potboilers, offering enough nudity, sexual chemistry, and far-fetched plotting to make it an enjoyable lazy-day diversion. Based on Cornell Woolrich's novel Waltz into Darkness (previous filmed by François Truffaut as Mississippi Mermaid) and set in turn-of-the-century Cuba, the film traces a tailspin of amorous obsession when coffee plantation owner Luis (Antonio Banderas) discovers that his American mail-order bride (Angelina Jolie) is not the plain wife he'd expected, but a beautiful, scheming thief who's after his fortune. The movie asserts that love is truly blind, but absurd twists of plot make Luis appear more stupid than passionate. Writer-director Michael Cristofer fared better with Jolie in Gia; here, he's made another good-looking film about beautiful people, but its plot just can't be taken seriously. --Jeff Shannon

Original Sin (Unrated Version)
One of my favorite Angelina movies of all time....Keeps you in suspense, because you just never know what's going to happen next.
star rating 4
A film you will love to watch again and again!
To be frank, I naturally didn't keep a lot of expectations from the film 'Original Sin' when I first heard of it, I just thought of it as just another 'Sex flick' but to my surprise I was forced to change my opinion when I saw it. Its not just about physical relationships, but a story with depth. The chemistry betweeen Antonio Banderas and Jolie is beyond words. Jolie is the lady in the film you will love to hate initially but slowly you will start loving her. The film undergoes certain twists, but nevertheless a sattisfying ending. You wont be dissapointed at all.
