Review of Miami Vice

Miami Vice (2006)
1/10
The vice here is the mediocrity
9 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
After reading a few reviews on some well known film sites i thought this was going to be great...but the totally opposite was true. What a huge disappointment. The plot was going from one place to another and at times just gave you one big headache. Poor red herrings and over the top sub plots were shown to us as believable (I think not!). The film was just one sub plot over another and a zig zag of labyrinthian proportions of where the film should be going. And how about this for corny dialogue...'probability is like gravity...'? er..yeah, like dog crap and cheese are identicial???

It seems Michael Mann is a one (HEAT) hit wonder, and simply adding a 10 minute gunfight lifted straight out of HEAT at the end of the movie is not going to save it.

If you want to watch a decent cop thriller check out the little known 'Dirty' a superior film by a lesser known director.

Avoid this Miami VICE and buy the TV series instead.
