<I>Original Sin</I> 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 <I>Waltz into Darkness</I> (previous filmed by François Truffaut as <I>Mississippi Mermaid</I>) 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 <I>Gia</I>; here, he's made another good-looking film about beautiful people, but its plot just can't be taken seriously. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>
Viewer Reviews
One of my favorite Angelina movies of all time....Keeps you in suspense, because you just never know what's going to happen next.
