Other than the names and setting, the movie incarnation of Miami Vice seems to have very little in common with the show that inspired it, which I imagine will disappoint anyone who checked it out hoping for some retro reminiscing. The actingOther than the names and setting, the movie incarnation of Miami Vice seems to have very little in common with the show that inspired it, which I imagine will disappoint anyone who checked it out hoping for some retro reminiscing. The acting was extremely stiff, the plot was uninteresting and extremely cliched, and the setting was far too modern. While there was a couple decent action scenes and some may like the "romances" - but you'd be better off watching some re-runs of the original series or better made action movies.… Expand

This was a horrid waste of time. My girlfriend practically fell asleep the movie was so slow and uninspired. The acting did not at all pull me into the emotion of the caste. The 'shaky' camera effects are old and headache inducing. This was a horrid waste of time. My girlfriend practically fell asleep the movie was so slow and uninspired.

Why can't I just sit anymore and see a scene with 2 people holding a conversation without having the camera shake? Either hire a new camera man or get a better tripod. It's not live it's not cops it's not smart or cute anymore. The 'smart parts' weren't that smart and 90% of the movie was utterly pointless leaving us saying "why are they doing this again?" and not because the easily predicatible plot was anything hard to understand, but because what they were doing was flat out a waste of time and energy.… Expand

It's disappointing when the creator of Miami Vice can't save this on the big screen--script wise, it was silly. Visually, it was very good. There is no on-screen chemistry between Colin Farrell and Gong Li. If we are to believe It's disappointing when the creator of Miami Vice can't save this on the big screen--script wise, it was silly. Visually, it was very good. There is no on-screen chemistry between Colin Farrell and Gong Li. If we are to believe that Farrell would stretch the limits of the law for his love, then the chemistry should have been as palatable as Pitt and Jolie in Mr/Mrs Smith. Plus Farrell really looks bad--bad hair dye job, bad physical condition--really bloated and obvious lack of skin shown to the audience (vis-a-vis Jamie Foxx and his hot bod), and did I say bad hair? Don't waste your money to see this, wait for the DVD.… Expand

Simply one of the worst movies I have ever seen. There is a terrible sex scene. I nearly vomited all over my popcorn... Incomprehensible and unbelievable plot. Cliches strewn everywhere like a field of cow dung. Loved getting out of the theatre!

I truly cannot remember the last time I had a more excrutiating movie-going experience.

The acting was so over the top and self-absorbed and the dialogue was so melodramatic and overcooked I thought I was looking at a terrible opera about the dangers of the drug trade. Sprinkled with gratuitous and pointless shower sex scenes, of course. I will credit the cinematography and action choreography however. They were very well done and definitely the highlights of the movie. It really makes you wish that the majority of the film revolved around these action scenes since a) they are very well shot, gritty and exciting and b) the actors aren't talking. It's those talking times when the movie really begins to derail and unfortunately it takes up a majority of the 2.5 hours you're stuck in the theater, uncomfortably shifting waiting for the train wreck to end. Perhaps I'm being overly critical, but this is what I sincerely felt throughout the entire movie and all but one of the 5 friends I saw the movie with felt the same way. I really believe my 2 is generous. In any case I still respect Michael Mann as a director and would recommend any of his other films, but if you haven't seen Miami Vice already, spare yourself the pain and wasted time and see The Insider, Heat or Collateral. Any of those films is time far better spent.… Expand

One star for Naomie Harris, who had the guts to demand a body double for her preposterously unnecessary nude scenes; another star for one brief second in a nightclub when Ms. Harris's character Trudy Joplin and Elizabeth One star for Naomie Harris, who had the guts to demand a body double for her preposterously unnecessary nude scenes; another star for one brief second in a nightclub when Ms. Harris's character Trudy Joplin and Elizabeth Rodriguez's Gina Calabrese exchange the sort of knowing, connected, smart glance that the guys try-- and fail-- to exchange for the entire film. Not that it's easy to see expressions on anyone's faces in this sea of mud. When you're shooting a post-apocalyptic zombie flick like "28 Days Later" on a zero budget, digital video is fine. It is not fine when your budget, oh Mr. Michael Mann, is supposedly $150 million. "Miami Vice" is the worst kind of movie: it has absolutely nothing engaging about it. It's as though they took a film-- any film-- and squeezed all the life and humor and intrigue and excitement out of it. There's nothing here but a cold, bitter, muddily shot shell of a film. Colin Farrell and Jamie Fox have nothing in the way of chemistry; they have nothing but amazingly bad haircuts. The highly touted (how can you spot the boy review writers in this picture?) sex scenes are pointless and perfunctory. Intelligible, intelligent dialogue-- anywhere?-- nope. Characters we can give a rat's patootie about? Are you kidding? Mr. Farrell and Miss Harris in life-or-death rasslin' matches with their adopted accents. Ooh, yeah-- and it ain't pretty. Come to think of it, none of "Miami Vice" is pretty. Except for the clouds. And I can see those for free. A bitter, bad-spirited, unrewarding, and unentertaining film. Stay home and watch "Heat" instead.… Expand

And the dialogue? "There's undercover, then there's which way is up." Way too cool for me. If you like Michael Mann and Jamie Foxx, see "Collateral", a movie with a lot more edge.… Expand

My father got a free pass to see the advance screening of Miami Vice for last night and he invited me along. What possessed me to say yes is a question that will haunt me for the rest of my days. Before I tear this movie apart, I will admit My father got a free pass to see the advance screening of Miami Vice for last night and he invited me along. What possessed me to say yes is a question that will haunt me for the rest of my days. Before I tear this movie apart, I will admit there are a few good things about it: Miami Vice looks good (in a very Collateral, but nonetheless effective way) and the fighting sequences often prove to be very effective. That's about it. Honest to God, I have never been more bored in a movie theatre in my entire life. Colin Farrell proves once again that he can't act his way out of a paper bag. Jamie Foxx proves once again that all he can do is imitate Ray Charles. Gong Li and Naomie Harris prove once again they are wasted talent. None of the leads have any chemistry, not Farrell and Li, not Foxx and Harris, and, most of all, not Farrell and Foxx. None of the characters are engaging or fun to watch (with the possible exception of the villains), and when Harris's character is in mortal peril, no one cared less than me, except for Foxx as Rico Tubbs. He hardly shows any emotion in the entire flick, though maybe the screen writers or editors are to blame, we might never know. What's for sure is that Farrell (as Crockett) and Foxx show about as much depth as a Jessica Simpson video. I know that the TV series (which I never watched) was basically a play on the MTV generation and that the episodes were, in a way, music videos, but Mann does not exploit the film that way. Instead of being cheeky and superficial, Tubbs and Crockett have no personality and Mann only emphasizes that fact by trying to give them personal issues to work with. Pick a side!! The plot is incomprehensible for the most part. Farrell, in what appears to be a constant hangover, cannot enunciate to save his life (Foxx looks just as confused as I did) and the writing fails to build up the story effectively. The dialogue is also laughable. After a date, Li (as Isabella) tells Crockett about a fortune cookie. He pauses, and moves on by asking her about insurance. Are you kidding me???? Most of the movie's dialogue, however, is specific to Tubbs and Crockett's job, though it is never clarified to enlighten the viewer. I tried to decipher it all, but gave up after a few minutes, for I seriously did not really care. The geography is also confusing, as the characters are constantly flying/boating/driving in and out of various locales. The occasional title hardly helps the audience. Which brings me to another question: where the hell is Miami in 'Miami' Vice??? 'Central American' Vice might've been a better title... In the end, what I'm trying to say is I know that as a twenty year old girl, I am not the target audience, but does that mean I had to be bored to tears the entire time? The best thing about the film were the trailers for Children of Men and The Black Dahlia.… Expand

I enjoyed watching the series as a kid, but this was nothing like the show. The plot was completely convoluted, the dialog was impossible to understand, esp. Farrell & Li (I just gave up on all their scenes together), and the shootout camerawork made me want to puke. I wish directors would stop trying to be 'edgy' by filming vomit-inducing scenes. The violence was way too over the top, w/ blood spurts on the lens and ppl's gray matter flying all over the place. I guess this is what studios think ppl want to see near the end of summer.

Atrocious handheld work makes the frame shake violently even during slow dialogue scenes, which is about 95% of this film. Michael Mann has always taken as much time as he wants to tell his stories, but at 134 minutes, Miami Vice is a bloated, boring, sleep-inducing nightmare that is nothing like Miami Vice I love... or the Michael Mann I love for that matter.

I don't know what to rate a movie that I can't even stand watching. Miami Vice was just dull, darkly lit with a lot going on without explanation. Maybe that's how the show was, but this was a struggle.
