    this 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.

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

    I 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.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Original Sin is really about murky storytelling, bad dialogue and arty close-ups of Jolie's formidable lips. full review

August 3, 2001
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Loses its nerve and instead of maintaining its theme of obsession, it starts piling up absurd complications. full review

August 3, 2001
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's an exuberant example of what it is -- a bodice-ripping murder 'meller' -- and at that it gets a passing grade. full review

August 2, 2001
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The film aspires to Hitchcock ... but it comes off like one of those soft-core Red Shoe Diaries flicks you see on cable TV. full review
