Its Just Me, But:
Original Sin belongs in the so bad its 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 Woolrichs 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 hed expected, but a beautiful, scheming thief whos 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, hes made another good-
looking film about beautiful people, but its plot just cant be taken seriously.
