I wish I could have written something better about this film version of the 80s
TV series. Miami Vice which starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas
was a truly hip show, a view of the 80s as 77 Sunset Strip was to the late 50s
through the Kennedy years. Don Johnson was quite the fashion style trender
in those years and there was a bit of wit in the show.
None of which is present in this film which is a routine police action drama. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx are a pair of cops going under to try and take down both a drug kingpin Luis Tosar and one mother of all drug shipments at the same time.
Complicating things is Farrell falling for Tosar's wife Li Gong. Talk about urinating where you eat. He should be facing some disciplinary problems soon.
I'm not sure fans of the show will really get into this.
