You get a bonus because I get a four-day weekend! Namaste, bitches! This movie is really only notable for the sex scenes. God love Angelina Jolie for being so dedicated to her craft.
It's a steamy, fucked up little romance between a Cuban coffee grower (Banderas) and his mail-order American wife who may not be all that she claims to be (Jolie). Thomas Jane is in it as her persecutor/partner-in-crime and absolutely everything is menacing and dirty.
After you've seen it the first time, the story really doesn't do a lot to hold you but both stars are (arguably) at their hottest and hadn't yet been reduced to voicing cartoon cats.
Have I mentioned this movie is viciously sexy? Yeah, don't get it hoping for some Reformation-era bodice-ripping love story. It's more of the 'sell-everything-you-own, rob, steal, and murder in order to feed your obsession' kind of love story.
I don't know about the rest of you, but that's my favorite kind.
