Julia is to meet a nice Cuban man who she has never met face to face - But the nice Cuban bites off more than he can chew. Julia is not what he expects. However, the Cuban (Banderas) is exactly what Julia expects. There are secrets, and things aren't as they seem - next thing you know - Banderas is chasing Julia to find out who she really is and why she wiped him out of his money and fled. He is in love with her - she doesn't know what she wants or who she 'Really' is. Prepare yourself for a movie unlike any other - Learn what Original Sin means, when you watch this original masterpiece. I would say more but I do not wish to give anything away - this is a movie not to be missed - It has moments that are hard to watch - while other parts draw you in and you find yourself lost in a world of seduction, lies, and murder...but above all, you will learn the power of love.

"Original Sin" is a remake of the French "Mississipi Mermaid", aka "La sirène du Mississipi" (1969), direct by François Truffaut, with Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo. In Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, the owner of a cigarette factory Louis Mahé is engaged through correspondence with Julie Roussel and he does not know her. When Julie arrives in the island to get married with Louis, he waits for her in the docks but Louis does not recognize Julie in the passenger vessel and finds that she is totally different from the picture she had sent to Louis. They get married and Louis shares his bank accounts with her. When Julie's sister writes a letter to Louis asking her sister to write to her, Louis discovers that the woman is not Julie that is missing. Further, he finds that the woman has cleared his bank accounts and left the island. Louis and Julie's sister hire an efficient private detective Comolli and Louis travels to France seeking the woman, but he has a nervous breakdown in Nice and is submitted to an intense sleeping therapy in a clinic. He recovers and finds that the woman, actually Marion Vergano, works in the Phoenix Club Privé in Antibes and lives in the low-budget Monorail Hotel. Louis breaks in her room and when she arrives from the club, she tells that she was happy with him but her former dangerous lover Richard had blackmailed her. Louis is still in love with Marion and escapes with her to the countryside. But Comolli is chasing Marion in France accused of murdering Julie. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The movie's poster attracted me, seemed dark romance and I got much less than what I expected. The wealthy businessman played by Banderas is dumb and stupid who doesn't care if his wife is not what he thought of during their letter writing period. It also, doesn't matter to him that his wife vanishes with his money and is found with a chain of men. Jolie is in the movie to play the sex card from Banderas to Thomas Jane both had a nice time with her. Aside from her super pout and intimate scenes there's little she brings to the screen. I have never liked her acting aside 'girl interrupted'. The dialogs are stupid and immature and the ending is far more than disappointing.Watch it if you are an admirer of either one of the leading actors or for the nude scenes. There's nothing much to say here.

I came here and saw this information provided with the details, as I have seen this movie already and I saw here again the trailer provided by the IMDb, I am really impressed the way of presentation and information given here.Angila really did marvelous job here. As I have seen this video here, I found her role played very sensibly in this video. I think, it would be possible by the view of Pay Per Minute Webcam Chat Script or Web Cam Chat Software that is Pay per Minute, as I see that here- www.uniqperformer.com Story is really explained here very well and movie is really good, as I found some story here - 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 a con artist, prostitute, and actress, who teams with a fellow actor to steal money from men. What she does not expect is that she falls in love with her new husband and ultimately must decide between him and her sadistic former lover. Contains explicit sex including sadistic acts as Thomas Jane cuts Jolie's back with a knife as part of their lovemaking.
