Laughably melodramatic, Original Sin features bad acting, bad dialogue, and bad plotting.

Though written and directed by a Pulitzer Prize winner, Original Sin is better known as the picture in which a naked Angelina Jolie (by then a certified Oscar winner) and Antonio Banderas do the horizontal mambo. [Blu-ray] Jul 5, 2011 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

it has one of the most passionate dialogue of lovemaking: WHEN I'M WITH YOU, I'M SOMEONE ELSE...SOMEONE MORE LIKE MYSELF.

When a man selects a mail order bride, he is surprised to see the beauty who appears before him. She alleges that she sent false photos to him to assure that he would love her for what she is and not for her beauty. However, what she is,is a con artist who teams with a fellow actor to steal money from men. What she does not expect is that she falls in love... starring Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie..
The story idea was interesting but the movie was pretty slow. There was a little too much skin in the flick for me. It seemed that all the relationships in the movie were based all on the sexual aspect. I wanted to like the flick as I like both of the main characters but it really wasn't for me.
this was one of the films that helped put jolie on the map. she was great because she always is, and the story had slight moments where it was interesting, but ultimately it wasnt that good. a little smutty so to speak.
