Editorial Review:
Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell go deep undercover in the explosive action-packed Miami Vice that "sets fire to the screen" (James Verniere Boston Herald). When detectives Ricardo Tubbs (Foxx) and Sonny Crockett (Farrell) are asked to investigate the brutal murders of two federal agents they find themselves pulled into the alluring and lethal world of drug traffickers. Michael Mann's Miami Vice is "sleek powerful dark and dangerous" (Geoff Pevere Toronto Star).System Requirements:Run Time: 133 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 025192802324 Manufacturer No: 61028023
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

Rating:  - Miami Diced
In defense of the TV show, Miami Vice was cutting edge in the time period that it came out in. Even though it might be considered corny by today's standards, it was a good show. Miami Vice the movie is not a good movie is not good movie at all. Michael Mann's Heat is one of my favorite flicks of the past and Collateral turned out to be one of 2005's best surprises but here he falls flat. Miami Vice looks good visually but the movie moves at an old man's pace. It never goes beyond the tale of two ... Read More
Rating:  - michael mann's best work ever
omg, i love miami vice & i watched it so many times that i had to purchase it three times so far, beautiful action movie with romance, the romance between colin and gong li is so intese and so real,it's awesome with a sad ending, i enjoyed it soooooooooo much, i hope michael mann would make the sequel and i can't wait for it, god willing.
it's a beautiful movie which i enjoy watching over and over again.
Rating: - Next time on cop drama
I only vaguely remember the prime-time tv series this movie shares its title with, but I'm quite sure it was nothing like this ham fisted Too-Fast-Too-Furious style "cop" drama. Where do I even start with this one? How about a basic plot summary: a couple of super-cops, who are best friends, one black the other white, are approached by shadowy FBI or DEA or Government type guys. Apparently the FBI/DEA/whatever agents fudged up so obviously these super cops, who speed around town all day in flashy ... Read More
Rating: - Great Movie
This movie is a crime drama, not an action movie. Once you understand that I believe you will really like the movie. For fans of the TV show, I think if you liked the first season, which was flashy, but had a really good and serious storyline, this is for you. They both have the fast cars, boats, nice houses, etc. But I actually like the characters in the movie better. The special features are a nice addition as well.
Rating: - Underrated Crime Masterpiece
This film could not have been any better, other than they should have gotten Terence Howard to play Tubbs rather than the typecast Foxx. The perfect screen realization of the best crime drama, ever.
