Sin is one of those films that can promises a lot with a cast like Gary Oldman and Ving Rhames squaring off but sadly the film never really goes as deep as I felt it could . At the end of the day it is a basic revenge film which kind of incorporates an Oldboy style formula in it but that really does not seem to pick off so much . On the whole I was not entirely disappointed with this film as it did keep entertained through its course , Oldman stays on top with his fine form and Rhames also does good but could be better . If modern day spaghetti western flicks are your thing then check it out otherwise nothing new here which makes this film essential viewing but worth a rent or check it out if its on TV .
I saw this movie only because Gary Oldman was in it. And once again he was great. Too bad he wasn't in the movie as much as he needed to be. The story is an Ex-Cop is looking for his sister who has entered a life of Sin, hence the title of the movie. The title is the basic theme, every character has done something bad that they either regret or embrace. While the cast wasn't bad, it was most likely just the story and the editing. I have to say this movie had some of the worst editing I have ever seen in a movie. It's almost like they spent all their money on the cast, the film, and the sets. And they couldn't afford much for music and editing. Gary Oldman is still great, but because this movie was so boring, I have to say this is his worst movie. Yes, even worse than Nobody's Baby. If you're a Gary Oldman fan, then you may have to see it. But other than that, it's not even worth renting.
This movie is another crime movie, about the police, betrayal and sex. And of course some cockfights between the ego's of the criminals. Acting is allright, story is good. The only bad thing of this movie is that it isn't any special. Don't go see it in the cinema but rent it, or maybe buy it in the budget section.
I've been watching this stupid movie for an hour and boy does it suck! Rhames just saved a woman from a fate worse than death and she had a hissy because he called her "baby". That's just an example of one in a long string of stupid moments in this unninspired, unoriginal amateurish junk flick. If it gets better, I'll let you know before posting this comment. Otherwise, just pass on "Sin". (C-)
