The movie is not intended to be subtle. It is sweaty, candle-lit melodrama, joyously trashy, and its photography wallows in sumptuous decadence.
Ridiculous, yes, but in an eminently watchable way. Most of the plot twists work surprisingly well, and the frequently naked leads work up some genuine chemistry.
It's not nearly as mediocre a two hours as the trailers would have you think.
Aficionados of movies in the so-bad-they're-good category might just revel in this overheated costume melodrama.
An early scene inside a theater seems intended to wink at Sin's critics: "Disgusting! Cheap melodrama," a lady sniffs during intermission. It's a neatly reflexive acknowledgement of what we ourselves are watching, but even at that, our filmmaker is praising himself too extravagantly by half.
Doesn't even have earnestness going for it -- a tepid, blindly assembled post-noir.
