Synopsis
ONE NIGHT STAND is director Mike Figgis's morality play about casual sex in the age of AIDS. Max Carlyle (Wesley Snipes) travels to see his old friend Charlie (Robert Downey, Jr.) in New York and winds up in an act of infidelity with a beautiful stranger named Karen (Nastassja Kinski). Max's one night stand is not a source of fear or guilt, but rather a crisis that leads him to question the life he's built and is so easily convinced to betray. That life, as a family man and director of shallow commercials in Los Angeles, is best embodied in his demanding wife Mimi, a Hollywood socialite who only connects with her husband on apparently superficial levels. Mimi is played by Ming-Na Wen, who steals the show in her supporting role (except when Robert Downey, Jr. is on the screen, stealing the show even more in his supporting role as Max's friend, who is dying of AIDS). Making subtle use of his multiracial cast, writer-director Mike Figgis has crafted a dramatic tale about love, sex, and betrayal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stylish and enjoyable, 11 Jun 2004
By Ashley Jenkins (Southampton, Hants United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed this film and would recommend it as a worthy attempt at an artful and intelligent piece. Snipes is at his considerable best and portrays his character with great screen presence. In fact when you see Mr Snipes in a role such as this you wish he'd make more movies in this vein. A great supporting cast and thoughtful direction make this a minor gem, marred just a little by perhaps a slightly contrived ending. If you like this film see Richard Gere in Intersection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant acting!, 5 Feb 2001
One Night Stand might not be everyone's cup of tea as it includes quite a few sex scenes, but if your in for brilliant acting, this is definately the film to watch. it tells the story of a man who goes to visit his best friend who is dying, and ends up having an affair. when he goes back to his family, he feels guilty. but will he ever see his love affair again? superb acting from robert downey jr and wesley snipes - it'll bring tears to your eyes. so if you like a juicy story line that will make you reach for the kleenex, this is definately the film for you!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible film but with some memorable moments, 20 Nov 2002
By A Customer
One Night Stand fails to work on almost every level. I found watching it so satisfactory that I had to watch it twice to make sure I wasn't being unfair.

The plot summary is the Wesley Snipes's married character has a one night stand with Natassja Kinski's married character and it transpires that they are to cross paths again due to a series of unnerving consequences. As a totally irrelevant sub plot, Robert Downey Junior plays the rebellious brother of one of the characters who is dying in hospital.

I think overall the acting is terrible but this is because the plot and characters are so unconvincing. There is nothing clever that happens in the film and it would take a fair amount of re-editing and re-writing to make it explore themes properly and add tension.

The only redeeming quality is Ming-na Wan who plays Wesley Snipe's rather full-on wife. Her performance is excellent and she completely eclipses anything else that is happening on the screen. She single handedly adds the tension, the laughs and the more steamy moments. I am suprised this film didn't mark the beginning of a huge film career for her.

Hire or buy with extreme caution!
