Watch One Night Stand For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I absolutely love this movie. Figgis' use of music gives me chills and I don't find some of the 'coincidences', in the movie's plot too unbelievable. Rather than being a clichéd Hollywood film on adultery, I've always thought it to be a joyful celebration of life in the face of mortality. Robert Downey Jnr. milks a whole scene for comedic effect solely with the use of his owl-like eyes. While a similar scene in your average film would be knee-deep in pap miserabilism. There is something subversive in the director and actors finding humour amidst such morbidity. But it's the music that keeps me coming back. Figgis' enthusiasm for jazz is well in evidence here and there's even a neat use of Nina Simone's 'Exactly Like You'.Natassja Kinski and Ming Na Wen don't hurt none either.

I love this film. I love Wesley Snipes and Nastasia Kinski. They were very credible. In addition, most of the dialogues were really intense. I am only disappointed because the DVD I bought (UK version) has no subtitles and no extra (only the trailer).

Life can be a series of happenstance which is what Mike Figgis has strung together into the plot of this movie. The cast is more than adequate and does quite well with Robert Downey jr., giving the best performance in the movie. The skill of a director and making a movie is to create an environment in which the viewer suspends disbelief and doesn't go back later and pick the movie apart. Figgis has failed, not because of chance encounters, but because the movie is too symmetrical for its own good. It is unbelievable because Figgis did not spend the time on screen developing the characters sufficiently to motivate what happens in the ending. The premise of a one night stand affecting one's life is more than plausible. When it all comes out in the wash, I simply don't see the chemistry between Nastassja Kinski and Wesley Snipes and without that the movie makes no sense and ultimately falls apart.

There is this night, when a men (Snipes) and a girl (N.Kinski) go into opera and after these there are some gangsters, who want to take there money. In the same night, the men stay by the women and in the middel of it she dream about the gangsters. The fear of them is already there. Then the men loved the girl in a tender way rare shown in cinema and the wolrd become good again. On the next day, the men is flying home to his wife and they make a sort of dirty sex, where you can see, the love between same is not very deep. Then there is a completly other story, about an other men , who is very ill and dying then. At last the men and the women from the one night stand will be toghter and ther love is so much more than only for one night. An interesting movie.
