Original Sin (2001)
7/10
better than I thought
7 June 2002
I thought this one could be a real stinker. I ended up kinda liking it. All right, the sex scenes were ludicrous and the ending is just plain *stoopid*, but I loved the music and the costumes. Poor Antonio Banderas was rather nice, but his character looked quite dumb. Angelina Jolie couldn't save this film but at least she tried to. On the other hand, I really liked the supporting actors: Thomas Jane was the only sexy thing in the whole movie as everyone's favourite sadistic bully. His character was loathsome, but there was some strength in Mr Jane's performance, I thought his Billy was the only one who cared about something. All he knew was violence, that's the way he was raised, and he expressed his "love" with violence. Very compelling performance. And it's always nice to see Jack Thompson: he was typecast but he's always a first class actor.
