SlidePocket 707 Posted March 6, 2014 This 1997 film has a pretty good cast with Wesley Snipes, Nastassja Kinski, Kyle MacLachlan, Ming-Na and Robert Downey, Jr. Plus was directed by Mike Figgis of Leaving Las Vegas fame. But even they couldn't save that movie from being completely snoozeworthy. Tanked at the box office and got pretty poor reviews (28% on Rotten Tomatoes). Â Originally, Joe Eszterhas wrote the script, where it was a series of loosely-connected sex scenes. But when Mike Figgis scored a hit with Leaving Las Vegas while Eszterhas had back-to-back flops with Showgirls and Jade, Figgis took over the project and rewrote most of the screenplay, which resulted in Eszterhas to take his name off the movie.
