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 François Truffaut previously adapted for the screen as La Sirene du Mississippi. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas star in the erotic drama Original Sin. Sporting a clean 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen image, this transfer by MGM looks very good without any noticeable imperfections present. Featuring bright colors and solid black levels, this is an excellent image with striking clarity. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. This is a very enveloping soundtrack that features multiple directional effects and extremely clear dialogue, music, and effects. Also included on this disc are subtitles in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English. The extra features on this "unrated" edition of Original Sin include a somewhat interesting commentary track by director Michael Cristofer (who tends to drone on a bit too much), a music video for the song "You Can't Walk Away From Love" by singer Gloria Estefan, an animated photo gallery of images from the film, and an original theatrical trailer for Original Sin. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
