In Original Sin (2001) Angelina Jolie is a mail-order bride who, in a more realistic film, would quickly be claimed by the mailman. Instead, she’s actually delivered to the island of lonely Antonio Banderas. He was expecting somebody a lot less gorgeous, but Jolie explains that she sent an ugly picture so she wouldn’t just be loved for her body. That’s cool, since Antonio lied about being poor when he’s really a millionaire. But it turns out that you just can’t trust a bride that arrives C.O.D., as Antonio’s lucky break becomes mired in murder and assorted con games. Good thing that the complicated plot also requires the unveiling of Angelina’s assets and Nitzi Arellano’s titzies.
