When a man (Antonio Banderas) selects a mail order bride, he is surprised to see the beauty (Angelina Jolie) who appears before him. She alleges that she sent false photos to him to assure that he would love her for what she is and not for her beauty. However, what she is is a con artist, whore, and actress, who teams with a fellow actor (Thomas Jane) to steal money from men. What she does not expect is that she falls in love with her new husband and ultimately must decide between him and her sadistic former lover. Many a times she would elope with her boyfriend only to find that Antonio Banderas is still following her. Not only that he still loves her. Finally she and her boyfriend would plan to poison Antonio. He would know that and would willlingly take the poison. This would make Angelina cry for him and she would shoot down her bf and save her husband. In the end of the movie she will actually be able to persuade Antonio to be her help in fooling people. He will also be a con-artist playing gambling.

I'll tell you, but it's not a good movie. I wouldn't suggest wasting the two hours on it.
Luis Vargas (Antonio Banderas), a wealthy Cuban businessman who seeks out an American wife, believes Americans represent the future, and that his own countrymen - and women - are mired in the past and their traditions. After months of corresponding with Julia Russell (Angelina Jolie), the day comes when she sails to his country to be his bride. Julia departs from the ship, looking nothing like the photos she's sent prior to her voyage. Julia explains she wants more than a man who is interested in a pretty face, and that's why she's been deceptive - substituting a plain-looking woman in place of her own picture. Luis also admits to deception; he's been misleading her into believing he's a poor workingman, instead of the rich owner of a coffee company.
Luis and Julia wed within hours of her setting foot in Cuba. Passion and lust lay just below the surface as the two begin to discover each other over the next few days. It doesn't take long for Julia and Luis to end up in bed and having sexual intercourse in a wild orgasm enducing manner in which Julia screams. Luis falls passionately in love with his new bride, while Julia seems to be fighting inner demons while holding herself back from too deep an emotional involvement.
Meanwhile, Julia's sister Emily has been trying to contact her sister, justifiably worried about her after such a long trip to a strange land. Luis forces Julia to write back, fearing that if Julia continues to ignore Emily's letters, Emily will assume something terrible has befallen her sister and send the authorities to check on her welfare. Holding off as long as possible, Julia finally pens a letter to her sister, setting into motion the execution of Julia's hidden agenda.
In order to assure that his wife has everything she wants, Luis adds Julia to his business and personal bank accounts, giving her free reign to spend as she pleases. Julia, knowing she's about to be discovered as an imposter, flees with Luis' entire fortune. Devastated, Luis teams with a detective, Walter Downs (Thomas Jane), to search down his imposter bride - and kill her. Luis, Julia, and Detective Downs enter into a dangerous game of cat and mouse filled with intrigue, deception, and ultimately, murder.

I wish I could tell you, but all I really remember is Angelina Jolie is naked about 80 percent of the movie so I didn't complain...
