Movie Reviews of Miami Vice (Unrated Director's Edition) [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Overall awful, but some great scenes
Summary: 3 Stars
I think Michael Mann is one of the best directors out today. Consider Heat, Last of the Mohicans, Collateral, etc. Great stuff. And I particularly enjoy his style; I'm not sure if I'm right, but he seems to shoot a lot with handheld cameras and natural light (as opposed to well lit scenes w/ artificial lights). It makes for a very distinctive feel that I enjoy. This movie is in that vein, but with some challenges. The overall story is pretty decent, and certainly consistent with the brazenly neon miami vice of yesterday. The problem is the dialog and lines. A lot of it is incredibly artificial and downright awful. I actually laughed quite a few times in the theater while listening to colin farrell's lines. I surprised myself and bought the dvd, only to realize that i really enjoy a select few scenes. The opening boat race scene is good, but i especially enjoy the scene where they cigarette boat-it to cuba. very good music, the engine revving sounds great in surround sound, etc. So this is one most appreciated by enjoying scenes in isolation, and, IMHO, that's OK.
Summary of Miami Vice (Unrated Director's Edition) [Blu-ray]
Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell go deep undercover in the explosive, action-packed Miami Vice Unrated Director's Edition! 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 lethal world of drug traffickers. From the acclaimed director of Heat and Collateral comes an exclusive motion picture experience you won't want to miss!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
