When Luis finds her, they have a big scene with guns pointed, screams of apologies and devotions of love. My pudding is broken." How in the hell Scott, is this movie not campy enough? She teases and denies some guy, who cries to her through her bedroom door, "My heart is pudding. She steals Luis's life savings, but it is apparently not enough for this vamp as she quickly looks for another victim. Angelina Jolie has made a career out of seducing men. As Luis's wise Jamaican maid says, "You were married to a dream that stole your soul." How can you blame Luis. I think the old, "too good to be true line" fits her. Shock of shocks, she turns out to be a phony. He translates their copulation into love while she fucks to manipulate. Since the leads are played by two of the best looking people in the world, they engage in hot sex. It is another lie that serves no purpose, as she would discover the truth upon arrival. That does not make even the slightest sense, yet he buys it. She claims to have sent an unattractive photo of herself to her future arranged marriage husband so he would not fall in love with her beauty. When Julia and Luis meet for the first time they both admit that they lied. I disagree Scott, Original Sin does go completely overboard with everything. Unless you're dying for a glimpse of either Antonio's ass or Angelina's tits, give this one a miss.Īngelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas in Original Sin. This is supposed to be like one of those bodice ripping, trashy, romance novels, only someone forgot to rip the bodice open and instead laced it too tightly. The events of this movie are campy, but not quite campy enough. Banderas's character goes mad after his wife runs off with his money, but not quite mad enough. Jolie's character is evil, but not quite evil enough. They should have gone completely overboard with everything, but instead it constantly holds itself in check. The real problem with this movie is that for a movie that should have been a potboiler of sex and intrigue, it's just too damn tame. It's lackluster script, the un-enthusiasm of its cast, the boring plot, and the annoying, oh so annoying, choppy editing style, all add up to a must miss event of a movie. Even when it's cheap melodrama." Well, you'd have to really love cheap melodrama to like this movie. The rest of the movie is spent with Banderas trying to track her down and solve the riddle of her identity.Ī quarter of the way through this movie, Jolie's character, while attending a play, quips, "I love the theatre. When she runs off with all of his money, it is only her husband who is surprised. Of course this is because she isn't who she claims to be, but nevertheless he falls madly in love with her and they have mad passionate sex. When she (Jolie) arrives, he is surprised because she doesn't look or act as he was expecting. It tells the story of a Cuban Coffee company owner (Banderas) in the 1800's, who sends away to America for a bride. Original Sin is supposed to be a sort of bad Harlequin Romance, but it's not even bad enough to be good. Of course Antonio's ass is also featured prominently, but I'm not awarding any stars for it. Both of those two body parts are not only featured heavily throughout this movie, but are also the real stars.
One star for Angelina's lips and one star for Angelina's tits. I'm giving this movie two stars for two reasons and two reasons only. Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie in Original Sin.
