Miami Vice

Miami Vice

Two cops went undercover to investigate illegal smugglings of drugs. A very interesting movie where love comes into the picture. I really find this movie interesting. 6.8 movie to me 💯

Good: filmmaking style Bad : story, action, screenplay, direction,acting pretty much everything

How do you watch a full movie, no washroom breaks and still miss parts of the movie? There is no point to any dialogue, no character development and everyone's cardboard. Don't look for any style or personality in any part of this all over the place mess. I'm seriously mad Michael Mann did me like this...

Good actors with little or no dialog A formula picture right down to meaningless interracial sex scenes. No attempt to create relationships between characters. I can't imagine that any of the people involved in this movie will be very proud of it. Interesting trivia point however - perhaps an attempt to be politically correct. The racing boats that are commonly referred to as cigarette boats are renamed "go-fast" boats. Perhaps indicative of the intellectual efforts that went into this entire production

In Belgium the movie is in the theaters the 16 of august. But I have won some tickets for the premiere, the 10 of august. I know the TV-show a little bit. I watched it a couple of times. Not a huge fan but just enough to enjoy a movie of the show. I don't know what Michael Mann thought when he was writing the plot. But I haven't really had the feeling of Miami Vice. The names (Ricardo Tubbs & James 'Sonny' Crockett) of the characters are the same but there ends it. For what I know of the TV-show is that Sonny lives on a boat in the Keys with his pet Elvis. In the movie he has a Ferrari and a house that is way to big for a cop earnings. When I saw it I had more a feeling I was watching Bad Boys 3 (Bad Boys I & II staring: Martin Lawrence & Will Smith) than Miami Vice, the movie. It's a cop movie like so many more. If you are a true fan of the TV-show than is the movie nothing for u. The Miami Vice feeling of the TV-show is lost in the movie.

Great movie...have to watch it with an open mind. You will have to watch it on its own merits and not compare to the series. I considered the final shoot out scene to be one of the most accurately captured in movies with the gun shots sounding very real. The characters is a very true reflection of Michael Mann's work and had lived up to his reputation. I also like the introduction scene very much that prepares the audience of what is to come. Does anyone know what is the name of the artist and music that is played in the nightclub in the introduction scene. I think there are 2 pieces but then it could be one.

The whole point of the undercover operation was to find the leak within the Fed Gov law enforcement agenices and yet we never find out who it was. All up it was enjoyable enough to watch but i didn't understand the point of their operation. They didn't catch anyone or shut down anything as far as the movie shows. They killed some mid management (their words) and that's it.

Incredibly realistic and raw. For those expecting to see a rehash of the 80's TV series (which I loved) you will be disappointed. It's very much closer to the a real life portrayal of the life of vice detectives. I was expecting the slow mo dramatic showmance shots of Crocket and Tubbs cruising down the streets in hot pursuit to a bumping sound track. But instead got realism which drew me in and made me feel every ounce of emotion these characters felt. Don't get me wrong there are moments of surreal romantic emotion to a great soundtrack, and there are speed boats and exotic foreign sports cars. This is one of those few movies that stays in your thoughts well after you have left the theater, which is a rare treat. Unfortunately most of the studio blockbusters flee from your thoughts the moment you exit the dark theater as your eyes begin to adjust to the light outside. Not this one. A rare surprise and one you need to see on the big screen because it will suck you in. 10/10
