What to say about this film? Set in Cuba in the late 19th century (with steamships and trains, but before electricity and the war) the Mexican shooting locations look very good. Also looking very good is Angelina Jolie, before her current anorexia. She shows herself to fine advantage and looks lovely in the late Victorian dresses and hairstyles. She showed real acting chops as well in this movie. Antonio Banderas did a fine acting job as well in this period drama. They both have the photogenicity and charisma that makes a movie star. This film has a bit of an unlikely plot, complete with some holes. It also goes to show you about the wisdom (or lack thereof) in trusting a woman.
