Miami Vice
USA 2006
Dir: Michael Mann
Stars: Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Li Gong
In a word: Hypermacho
Where was Sonny's aligator? They do not walk in 'Miami Vice', they swagger. They do not talk, words come out in stuccato. Colin Farrell and most of the cast looked like they had been freshly cut from a forrest. For an action film there was only a few action set pieces, which was good. So what was the plots: drugs, guns, deception, desire, does it matter? Overall a disappointing film. It may have been Michael Mann's intention to portray a serious image of undercover work, or to have the stuccato speach represent gun fire, it did not work for me.
Why see it? Some lovely South American scenery, you have a thing for one of the stars, you watched the TV show.
