Editorial Review: Product Description: Based on the 1980s tv action/drama this update focuses on vice detectives crockett & tubbs as their respective personal & profeessional lives become dangerously intertwined. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 11/27/2007 Starring: Colin Farrell Gong Li Run time: 140 minutes Rating: Ur Director: Michael Mann 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Suck isn't a big enough wordIn the classic John Candy/Steve Martin flick "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", John Candy's character says "Love isn't a big enough word" to describe how he feels about his late wife. Well "SUCK" ain't a big enough word to describe this gawdawful bomb from hell. Rating:  - better the second timeI originally saw this in the theatre, after seeing Collateral and being told how this was similar to HEAT. I was pumped up to see in. After the movie, I was very disappointed, I felt like i just sat through a two plus hour television show. Expecting to see shoo-outs like HEAT, i was let down. Now 2 years later, I just finished watching it with family members who never seen it, and were expecting Don Johnson in pastels. We were both surprised. It was much better than I remembered and much better ... Read More Rating: - BoringI 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. Rating:  - 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 ...
