Underrated and closer to real than people think...

I've owned this movie for so long and I haven't watched it for almost 11 years, as my DVD's are in boxes in the basement. I'm glad I went to dig it out. It was very nostalgic and dreamy, just as I remember. The visuals are amazing, and the music is really good.

The first review I read is saying that Li Gong's character is married. To that person, I say, go back and watch the movie, genius. They are NOT MARRIED.

The younger people think it's boring because they have an attention span of a mosquito and if it's not full of bright and shiny things, nudity, and bad CGI, they won't like it,

The older people think it's not 'hip' and 'stylish' like the TV series. To those people, I say, cool story, the cold war was over a long time ago.

For everyone else that understands this movie, cheers!

Nothing needs to be said about it. Mann delivers a good movie. Nothing more, nothing less.

None of the style of the TV show

I wish I could have written something better about this film version of the 80s TV series. Miami Vice which starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas was a truly hip show, a view of the 80s as 77 Sunset Strip was to the late 50s through the Kennedy years. Don Johnson was quite the fashion style trender in those years and there was a bit of wit in the show.

None of which is present in this film which is a routine police action drama. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx are a pair of cops going under to try and take down both a drug kingpin Luis Tosar and one mother of all drug shipments at the same time.

Complicating things is Farrell falling for Tosar's wife Li Gong. Talk about urinating where you eat. He should be facing some disciplinary problems soon.

I'm not sure fans of the show will really get into this.

A distinctly average thriller

Michael Mann's Miami VICE is an updating of the popular 1980s TV Show, casting Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx as a pair of undercover cops seeking to bring down drug dealers in sun-drenched Floridian locations. The movie even throws in a little sightseeing in Cuba for good measure. Unfortunately, a distinctly average, seen-it-all-before storyline means that this was never going to be anything other than a middling thriller.

Mann works hard as director, shooting his film in a colourful, fashionable way (think MANHUNTER) and adding some decent music to the soundtrack. A lot of the film was shot on hand held cameras, which I like; it goes to show that hand held footage need not solely exist in 'found footage' movies, and there's not a shaky-cam in sight, either.

Cast-wise, this is a mixed bag. Farrell is acceptable as the smouldering hero, but Foxx is miscast and seems bored with his part. The good news is that he's off-screen for about half the running time. Gong Li is very good as the femme fatale, even if she did learn her lines phonetically, and there are some good if minor performances from Tom Towles (HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER) as a white supremacist, the reliable Ciaran Hinds, and Luis Tosar (SLEEP TIGHT) as a drug baron.
