Miami Vice - Page 4

But if you knew that, then why did you act like it was a bad thing that he had 3 different accents? They tie into the movie.

Colin Farrell has been in some not so great movies, but I've never thought it was because of his acting.

I just watched the movie just now and tbh,it was a dissapointment.I think this is one of the few movies where the audience in asia gets to watch it first then in europe and states.

Movie was borderline okay.Story was pretty boring in the first part. Gong li was horrible.Her english accent is really bad and her chemistry with colin is just funny. I feel the action scenes was very limited.They also diddnt show what happened to the big boss


I rate it 4.5/10

i prefer bad boys 2 than miami vice even though bad boys 2 wasnt that good anyways

I heard that it wasn't the action packed blockbuster that most expected it to be but Michael Mann fans would enjoy it. Now I am a huge Michael Mann fan and films like Collateral didn't have all too much action but when it did it was great but it had a great story as well.

I actually went to see A Scanner Darkly tonight instead of Miami Vice because I'll probably be seeing that later this weekend.

I thought it was an alright movie. But this one guy next to me kept going "OH YEAH!" and clapping everytime somebody got shot in the head or something... He was also a postal worker.

I think that if they had set it in the '80s like the TV show it would have been alot better. If it's not 1984 why the hell would anyone go to Miami? Seriously.

Here's what I thought of it...

Pros? Intelligent story. I felt like this was the "cops undercover with drug dealers" finally done right. Great cinematography. To be expected, it's Mann. Great action. Shootout at the end is some of the best action of the year. Great pacing. It's a 2:15 movie, but it felt like it was over in a heartbeat. Good romance between Gong Li and Colin Farrell. Relatively believable. Not the typical "fall into bed with each other immediately".

Cons? The most glaring is a lack of character background/development. Even if you're remaking a show with established characters, you gotta remind us who these guys are. There were glimmers of it that satisfied me a bit, but after Heat and Collateral, I expected a little more.

Heat is a masterpiece. THE definite crime drama. Collateral is just a notch below that, and Miami Vice is still a notch below Collateral. Still one of the best entries into the genre and one of the better movies of the year.

I give it 4.5/5, really enjoyed it.

POO! I gotta wait 11 more days!
