Movie Haiku:A successful Black architect (Snipes) starts playing around with his Italian-American secretary to the disgust of family & friends on both sides. Break-out role for Jackson as the crack-head brother who's downward spiral serves as counterpoint to our hero's dangerous ascent into mainstream prominence.
