I'm embarrassed to say this really because of all the flack that Wesley Snipes receives about his personal life but I really love him as an actor! Here he plays the smooth and cool commercials director Max who, after being stranded overnight at his hotel on a business trip, makes the aquaintance of Karen, an intelligent and beautiful woman who wants a no strings fling. The difference with this film and others about infidelity is that you don't for one second feel anger towards Max, instead mentally egging him on to make a go of it with this woman as opposed to his high-maintainance wife Mimi who cannot stop talking and making a fool of herself at any social function. Exactly a year later, Max returns to New York to visit his sick friend Charlie ( played amazingly by Robert Downey Jnr - he should have received an Oscar for his portrayal of a gay man dying of AIDS if he hasn't already) and bumps into Karen...
A surprisingly good movie!
