Kinski barely registers. In her early scenes with Snipes she is vulnerably cute, after which she just stands around looking hopelessly vacant. She is upstaged by Wen (who played June in The Joy Luck Club). Snipes and Wen have great chemistry, taking an argument about a dress and twisting it beautifully into a full-out tete-a-tete. Snipes' nuanced performance--for which he received the Best Actor Award at this year's Venice Film Festival--makes you wish that he would give up playing generic action heroes and return to more serious acting like that of his earlier work...

As luck would have it, her childhood sweetheart, whom she broke up with at Harvard, is a partner in her firm and is married to a bright, attractive woman. Ally still loves him, and there are intimations that the feeling may be returned, but otherwise she is alone. Smart yet also emotional...
