I couldn't tell what was supposed to be the point of "One Night Stand". So there was a bunch of stuff about interracial relationships. Many other movies have done a much better job with that stuff. How could Mike Figgis, after creating a masterpiece like "Leaving Las Vegas" create something so disjointed with this movie? It wastes Wesley Snipes, Nastassja Kinski, Kyle MacLachlan, Ming-Na, Robert Downey Jr and John Ratzenberger on complete nonsense. If this movie has any redeeming qualities, it's that it gave Thomas Haden Church an early starring role, paving the way for him to star in "Sideways".So, in conclusion, Wesley Snipes's character says that anything's better than LA. I, for one, would rather choke on LA's smog than have to watch this movie again.

I am not that big a fan of wesley snipes but he seems to pull this role of okay. I don't really like the film that much either but when it comes on TV i never miss it because of Robert Downey Jr. His role as a man dying of AIDS touched me deeply. It deserved a best supporting actor nomination from the academy. He is the only real comic relief too. with a lift of his eyebrow he can make you chuckle and can express all those feelings without words. Horrible film, But Downey is great. I can't forget to mention at the beginning when Snipes is visiting Downey at that studio, the cinematography is amazing, that dance idea is pure brilliance with the ballerina and then cutting back to Downey in a god like stance.

This is a serious movie for grown-up movie-goers. It definitely is a fitting follow-up to Leaving Las Vegas for Figgis and I think Robert Downey Jr's performance as Charlie is an excellent portrayal of a young man dying so tragically early. Wesley Snipes manages well with the lead part and Natasha Kinsky is pretty good, although MF never gives particulary interesting roles for the women in his movies. This is a strong MF film and definitely worth a look.

At first I had a knee jerk reaction to the fact that infidelity played a role in the rearrangement of people's lives. However, what got me off my high horse was Robert Downey Jr's character Charlie. Charlie was the equalizer in this film which brought everything and everyone together. The message became crystal clear as Charlie candle slowly burned out, but what better way could a man ask to leave this world. Charlie truly left us all with something to live on for, OUR HAPPINESS.... 9 out of 10
