A lonely man's search for companionship soon takes him to dangerous and unexpected places in this erotically charged drama. Luis Antonio Vargas (Antonio Banderas) is a successful coffee salesman living in Cuba in the 1880s. Luis has had little luck finding love among the women of his native island, and he sends away to America for a mail-order bride. To his pleasant surprise, his fiancée from the United States, Julia Russell (Angelina Jolie), turns out to be not only beautiful but passionate and devoted. But Luis' happiness proves to be short-lived when he learns that Julia is not the person he imagined her to be, and detective Walter Downs (Thomas Jane) appears, trying to get to the bottom of Julia's mysterious past and possibly deadly secrets. Original Sin is based on the novel Waltz Into Darkness by Cornell Woolrich, which Francois Truffaut previously adapted for the screen as La Sirene du Mississippi.~Mark Deming
The chemistry between Antonia Banderas and Angelina Jolie is wonderful! Very passionate.

Somewhat disappointed in this film. I'd not seen it before and as I'm a big Angelina fan figured I'd give it shot, but 20 minutes into the movie I stop watching.

This is a great date night in movie. Very sexy and steamy but a great story as well. If you like this movie too, I would suggest Quills. Along the same lines but about the Marquis De Sade.

The movie tittle threw me on this story line. It would not have been expected. I have liked Angelina Jolie since watching her in "Gone In Sixty Seconds with N. Cage. I have like Banderas since "The Mexican" and putting these two together was a terriffic idea. I liked the movie, the plot good. Acting worth seeing. Twists and turns of the movie brought some original story lines to the usually over worked ones.

Jolie and Banderas fit into their roles so perfectly. There is suspense, heartfull drama, and at times moments that will make you tear up. Like the quote from the movie "This is NOT a love story, but it is a story about love." Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
