Angelina Jolie has always tried too hard to maintain her sexy reputation (few other people with lips as big as hers feel the need to do so much pouting), but she manages to outdo herself here as a conniving seductress who targets a rich coffee grower (Antonio Banderas) in turn-of-the-century Cuba. Trying to sexualize every scene she’s in – even using a phone-sex voice during a whispered confession to a monk – Jolie launches an already overheated erotic thriller into the realm of camp.
