Realistically shot in typical, monochromatic Michael Mann style, but this is just boring and generic cops vs. criminals territory which leaves too many loose ends. Final Grade: C |

Michael Mann can make good films, but this was an exercise just staying awake, let alone trying to follow any story. Other than the final gun fight, I was left bored to tears. I would watch the TV show over this any day. |

Lacks just about everything the TV series had |
|
Based upon the one of the most influential US television shows of all time that brought us brightly colored pastel suits, New Wave music and 1980's icon Don Johnson. However, fans of the series will see a darker, less influential movie that doesn't come close to the original.
Miami-Date Police Detectives "James 'Sonny' Crockett" (Colin Farrell) and "Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs" (Jamie Foxx) have lost a former informant (John Hawks), when he commits suicide right in front of him after learning that his wife was killed by a necklace implanted with C-4 by a Columbian cartel that discovered that he was working for the FBI.
The two then join the investigation, and go to Columbia undercover looking for the souped-up boats delivering the narcotics. They then go after the cartel itself, focusing... |

Action-O-rama with lots-O-action |
|
Okay, I am a bit ashamed for liking this movie because asides from lots of action there isn't much to this film. Plus the unbelievable nature of the action is way over the top. Still, I find myself enjoying the movie for what it was. An action film in the spirit of a bad Arnold Swartzenegar movie (little plot, lots of explosions, and the bad guys all have terrible aim)
There were several aspects/questions I couldn't get figure out when it came to this movie.
1) Do normal vice squads normally have this many resources at their disposal?
2) How are they so rich?
3) Why would they put drawn out love scenes in an action film?
If you have the answers, I wouldn't mind hearing them.

Try to Avoid |
|
This movie was awful. You couldn't pick out a plot if you tried. I saw this in the theatre and it was the first time I was ever willing to get up and leave, and just lose the money I paid for the ticket. From what I remember, there really wasn't a whole lot of action either. It was a true disappointment. |
