Wesley Snipes is a married uptown architect; Annabella Sciorra (
The Sopranos) is an Italian-American temp with aspirations beyond her working class milieu. When the two become involved, their fledgling romance cuts across firmly entrenched racial and class lines that expose a seam of bigotry in their respective social sets.
Lee's astutely drawn drama doesn't offer pat resolutions but gamely allows its characters to vent and check their own prejudices. Stevie Wonder keeps things up-beat with a terrific soundtrack. Imported print.
"A provocative, quintessentially Spike symphony"
Washington Post
