Title: Jolie's lips more real than ludicrous thriller she stars in
Review: Original Sin (2001) Antonio Banderas, Angelina Jolie, Thomas Jane, Jack Thompson, Gregory Itzin, Allison Mackie, Joan Pringle, Cordelia Richards, D: Michael Cristofer. Superlative actors and a lush style are diluted from a languid and nonsensical story made into a downer of a movie, which adapts Cornell Woolrich's novel, Waltz into Darkness. Banderas as a Cuban 19th century coffee plantation owner meets his gorgeous mail-order-bride from America for the very first time and falls in love, but she isn't whom she says she is when he goes on a wild goose chase looking for her. Viewers that are interested may revere more than anything the sight of Jolie's lips in close-ups and the overheated sex scenes. Running Time: 112 minutes and rated R for strong sexual content and some violence.
