Amazon.com:
Bearing absolutely no resemblance to the 1980s TV series that helped to propel Michael Mann into big-time filmmaking, Miami Vice is the kind of serious, and seriously stylish, crime drama that Mann does better than anyone else. As written by Mann himself, this undercover sting thriller doesn't reach the peak intensity of Mann's 1995 classic Heat, and it lacks the tight, nail-biting suspense of Collateral, but that doesn't mean it doesn't occasionally pack a wallop. As Miami detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs (respectively), Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx don't have to do much but mumble their plot-thickening dialogue and look ultra-cool in the casual cop attire, and their partnership is rather lifeless on screen (perhaps owing to the fact that this was a troubled production, with an actual shooting that occurred during filming, and Foxx's refusal to risk his life on dangerous locations in South America). But once Mann shifts into high gear with a plot to foil a powerful drug kingpin (Luis Tosar) and his ruthless middle-man (John Ortiz), Vice pays off with the kind of smart, realistic action that Mann's fans have come to expect. With Chinese superstar Gong Li as Crockett's love interest on the wrong side of the law, Miami Vice covers territory that's a little too familiar, and one suspects Mann's screenplay might've been punched up with a polish or two. Still, this is an above-average crime thriller that demands and rewards close attention, with a climactic shoot-out that's pure Mann, worthy of the brooding drama that precedes it. --Jeff Shannon

- Boring
I was extremely disappointed in this Blu-Ray disk. Movie was very grainy and quite frankly I saw no improvement over the DVD version. As for the movie, I adore Gong Li, and I wanted so much to like this movie, but it was terrible. The movie was too long, filled with wooden acting and a very predictable plot. Boring.

- So much more than your average flick...
No one makes a movie like Michael Mann. He's not a director who just gives you empty good guys and bad guys and likes to blow stuff up. Every character has a dimension that comes off screen. And while the characters come off screen, the master cinematography brings the audience on screen. There aren't too many directors who can orchestrate a crime thriller with such poetic justice.
On the outside, the movie is about a team of undercover detectives trying to bring down one of the largest drug cartels in the world. The problems start when Rico, played by Colin Farrell, allows his false identity to compromise the mission.
I really wouldn't want to give away any more of the story than that but believe me, there's an all-star cast of actors in this movie, they may not all be actors that you're familiar with but they're better than a lot of the ones you are. Forget the campy 80's crap you ... Read More
