Original Sin |
Period Drama's normally suck, right? |
Right. But not this one. Some rich Cuban dude (who's name escapes me right now - anyone?) writes to several American women seeing if they'll be his wife. He chooses one and would you believe it? It turns out to be Angelina Jolie. "Cuban Guy" didn't know it was her because Angelina sent a photo of someone else so he wouldn't choose her for her looks alone. Lots of hot naked bed action follows, and all within the first twenty minutes. It kinda leaves you wondering what will happen for the rest of the film.
The next twenty minutes are quite cute, with Angelina learning to be rich and loving the new experiences Cuban Guy shows her, like the theatre.
And then it suddenly emerges that the real woman who Cuban Guy chose to be his wife had been murdered on the ship over from America, and Angelina had taken her place...
The film is fantastic - funny and sexy, packed with twists and a great storyline, script and cast.
Get it out on video. It owns.
