December 1, 2007The story idea was interesting but the movie was pretty slow. There was a little too much skin in the flick for me. It seemed that all the relationships in the movie were based all on the sexual aspect.
I wanted to like the flick as I like both of the main characters but it rea... read more -
December 1, 2007this was one of the films that helped put jolie on the map. she was great because she always is, and the story had slight moments where it was interesting, but ultimately it wasnt that good. a little smutty so to speak.

September 4, 2007I love me some Angelina and Banderas. This was a torrid love affair with a interesting 2nd half.

April 14, 2012Melodramatic to a fault, sluggishly paced, edited poorly, and badly written, Original Sin has a lot going against it. As an erotic thriller, or, more accurately, an extremely erotic thriller, it works because of the chemistry between Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie. Though th... read more

December 10, 2011The first half of the movie is way too smutty, but it gets interesting in the other half and although some things should have been better explained, it was still an okay "thriller", so to speak.
Antonio Banderas is a real eye-candy in this movie which was the real reason I watch... read more -
November 26, 2011Though Angelina Jolie is stunning and commanding in her role, she cannot make up for the over-dramatic, wishy-washy writing and lackluster, half-assed performances from Jane and Banderas.

November 20, 2009I thought "Angelina" would have had this role bagged, but It was too mellow for this type of film and I was left dissapointed.
This was the biggest let-down I could have ever imagined.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
A textbook case of a movie that would have been better had it been worse. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Cable fare masquerading as a theatrical feature because of its high-profile cast. Full Review

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Suggests unintentional self-parody from the get-go.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Aficionados of movies in the so-bad-they're-good category might just revel in this overheated costume melodrama.
August 3, 2001
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle
Neither epochal nor epic in its ludicrousness. It's just run-of-the-mill trash. Full Review

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
The kind of movie that keeps you on your toes waiting for the next deadly serious absurdity.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Cristofer's approach is relentlessly serious and dead-on, devoid of humor, wit or personality. Full Review
