Rating: - One Night Stand
If for no other reason, see this film as proof of Wesley Snipes' compelling dramatic ability. He proves, as he did in his earlier Spike Lee films, that he is much more than just another action figure clone. The film explores some deep forbidden territory, and made many viewers uncomfortable and therefore (I think), unfair and not objective in their reviews. Just as 'Fatal Attraction' was too close to the bone for some, many rejected this film for the inability to deal with their own feelings around infidelity, homosexuality, death, racism, lust and love. This is not a film for the insecure who wish to feel safe in the familiar landscape of their own backyards. It is a courageous if decadent exploration of the human condition on many levels. A truly fine film that I found profoundly moving. Highly recommended!
Rating: - The hollow morality of the behavior often seen in modern civilization
Most movies that score the highest in the public's minds, are
those that take people to other times and spaces, constituting
entertainment value, often with some humoresque quip that sticks
in the minds of theater patrons after they walk out. For
example, Clint Eastwood's "Make my Day" or Bobby DeNiro's "You
talkin' to me?" and so on, leave an impression.
There are others, that tell biographical tales about people's
lives, their ups and downs, highs and lows, of popular people
and how they met their demise.
In this story, ONE NIGHT STAND, Nastassja Kinski reprises her
role, as a East-European photogenic, sophisticated female with
expensive desires or tastes, but low-profile nonetheless. On the
other hand, Wesley Snipes is brought in, to show that he's not
out of his league to hang with a certain professional social
circle, ... Read More
Rating: - Robert Downey Jr. is the reason to watch this film.
This is not a movie that I would purchase, but it is most definitely worth renting. Robert Downey Jr. steals this movie from the other actors. His performance, given from a hospital bed, is mesmerizing! Every other actor in this movie melts into the background when Downey is on screen. He has to be one of the greatest actors, albeit greatly troubled, that the silver screen has ever seen.
Ming Na Nguyen is nice to look at in her nude scenes, but you'll have to overlook the acting. Not good...but she has a very nice body and I loved the way her breasts looked in this movie.
Overall, the movie doesn't rate 2 stars, but Downey's performance rates at 5 stars. It's worth renting simply for that.
