Sin

2003

Gary Oldman, Ving Rhames, Kerry Washington, Alicia Coppola

First off, this is not half as bad as Gary Oldman would tell you it is............don't be so hard on yourself Gary.

Kassie(Washington) is a drug addicted prostitute who is under the thumb of sleazy drug lord Charlie Strom (Oldman). Charlie likes to video porn...but not just adult porn . Charlie is more than a little bit sick in the head. Eddie is Kassie's older brother and has been ousted from the police force where he sustained an injury which means he can't use his left arm. We find out that Charlie has some sort of backstory with Eddie and concucts a very evil plan (invlving a very graphic rape scene - not carried out by Oldman i might add) to try and get back at him. This sends Eddie and Charlie on a path of Sin that none are likely to recover from.

The editing is awful, i will give you that one. However, the music is great and the acting is great. There are some pretty graphic scenes and some pretty harrowing scenes and the ending is very powerful. Don't be put off by the bad reviews and Oldman's words.....i think he was just being over critical.....

7/10
