"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 on its North American contact, "Jose Yero" (John Ortiz). The two then meet the cartel's leader (Luis Tosar), and slowly learn that they are bringing the drugs into the US with the help of some Neo-Nazis. ... "

"Having missed the launch whilst on vacation, I finally sat down last night and watched all three episodes of Joss Whedon’s musical web miniseries Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog back-to-back-to-back. I had two major notes: 1. When did Joss Whedon and Michael Mann become the same guy? Dr. Horrible is a lone wolf anti-hero whose single-minded devotion to his professional obligation to save a small corner of the world (in this case, by way of organized evil) makes the very concept of romance inconvenient. Sound familiar? “Why did she talk to me now?” Billy/Dr. Horrible laments, after prospective love interest Penny makes contact right as he’s about to jump start an evil mission. This segues directly into a song with the refrain, “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.” What Whedon does is the self-mocking, defeatist, loveable loser version of what Mann does, in terms of love as a blight on the record of men who should be above it. This leads me to my second though, regarding Dr. Horr ... "

"Ok, I'm probably the only retard who forgot Infernal Affairs 1-3 was the basis for the Departed. That aside, this movie was fantastic. I've seen Departed - enjoyed it. But Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai have acting chops galore. Actually, the entire cast is 100% believable. It's an amazing crime drama exploring moral shades of gray in the context of undercover police work. Michael Mann's Miami Vice did that very effectively, also. But Infernal Affairs is the best undercover drama I recall seeing on DVD -- ever. (I will admit that I'm still a sucker for the undercover action flicks like Bad Boys).If you haven't had the priviledge of picking up this DVD, don't watch the trailer yet!!! I haven't seen parts 2 & 3 (which I assume won't be as "

"Fimoculous points to “Part 1? of Flashing Lights, Spike Jonze’s method of paying the mortgage whilst struggling to finish Where the Wild Things Are/new music video for Kanye West. Rex brands it as “basically hip-hop’s ‘November Rain’, but I see it more as a Colin Farrell-less Miami Vice. So, yes??????even though I’m no Kanye fan, I totally love it.

""Miami Vice"..with Michael Mann it's as much about the fantastic locations and the "boys toys" as anything isn't it?in this case, superfast boats..No need to set the characters up..we know what they do..As far as the T.V. show goes, i remember liking the title sequence with the Ferrari and the Jan Hammer music..pity he didnt get Jan Hammer (or Jan Akkermann even ),to do the score, instead we get a sub-"Nickleback" type band doing the awful "In the Air tonight" by Phil Collins..plot-wise ,there is a believable "love" story ("star crossed" ,of course, Drug dealer/undercover cop).. Colin Farrell ..great eyebrows..Li Gong... beautiful,recognised her from"2046" Jamie Foxx does very little ,very well...ultimately "eye candy", but it's Michael Mann eye candy... "

"I got the DVD ages ago, but I did not really feel like watching it, I've read so many negative reviews about it. I just got around to open the box on this lazy Saturday evening. What a nice surprise! Good, solid action movie, totally satisfying, simple fun. I need more please! "

"By Tricia Olszewski Whether you got hooked on the television series back in the ’80s or are about to get your first taste via the big screen, Miami Vice can make the world of drug trafficking look like an exciting career choice. You can be one of the bad guys—lord, middleman, lackey—or one of the good guys, such as Vice’s fashionable undercover detectives, Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. Whichever side you’re on, navigating this world successfully apparently takes certain skills: You have to scowl all the time. You have to keep your voice flat, unless you’re about to blow someone away. You have to feel at home in exotic locations, staying cool when you’re fronting in a foreign language and looking hot when you’re, say, salsa dancing with the requisite underworld stunner. And, most important, when discussing a strategy, you have to quote the Eagles: “Let’s take it to the limit one more time,” Tubbs tells his partn ... "
