Miami Vice flips "cool" on its head, transforming its protagonists from sleek, superficial badasses to weary romantics who keep their emotions in check. So, too, does Mann eschew the temptation to make it an action film, giving us instead a deliberate portrayal of cops-and-criminals that makes the world they inhabit feel vacuous and mournful (courtesy especially of some brilliant digital cinematography). If you're looking for a thriller, this won't deliver, but it's quite excellent otherwise.

Shoddy all round. Terrible camera work (even knowing it's handheld!), no characterisation, missing bits of plot and worst of all, Farrell and Foxx act like they've only just met on the bus. A couple of decent cinematic shots and a little bit of invention in the action scene towards the end save it from an even worse score.

The minute details of the cops-and-criminals verbage are often incomprehensible, but in the broad and most important strokes this is a weary film about futile senses of right-and-wrong amid the clusterfuck of a drug war, precursor and companion piece to Villeneuve's Sicario. The digital cinematography perceives equal highlights of close-up and landscape, an intensely tactile sensation for the moodiness of the characters and the aura of their surroundings.

Some effective use of music, sweeping landscape cinematography, and rapid-fire editing are not enough to make up for (or conceal) the fact that this is a thin and rather silly story that takes itself far too seriously, filled with characters either weakly-defined or cartoonish. I have never understood the praise heaped upon this particular director.

Quite a good film. The hand-held visual style, similair to watching an episode of cops, worked quite well. Certainly unforgiving in terms of dialog because certain characters mumble or are difficult to understand, such as Gong Li, which pretty much requires a re-watch to catch everything said. Some parts of the film do seem to drag for no reason and seem to function as music videos rather than parts of the movie. But this film is certainly worth seeing.

I'm pretty sure this is what you get if you make a $130M episode of COPS. It's so aesthetically anti-cinematic that it feels like it's pulling from reality TV, documentary filmaking and low budget advertising. There's tons of handheld shots, sudden unsteady zooms, and most of all an absolute disregard for cinematic lighting.

I kept nodding off during the movie so I missed a lot of it, but whatever. I wasn't a huge fan of the show, but I watched it from time to time. I'd forgotten how weighty the show was, and the movie captured that mood fairly well. I was sort of hoping the movie would be a lot of mindless action, instead there was a lot of drama and convoluted deals and guys standing around looking cool. I also can't stand Colin Farrell.

I don't dislike Michael Mann, in fact Heat is one of the best heist movies of all time...but the way farrell and foxxXxXxxX are presented here almost reminded me of bad boys. yeah, they're so tough, so cool, so handsome yet so totally sensitive. where most women probably cream up watching these images, I just felt slightly nauseous. Nothing against strong lead characters, but show their virility through actions rather than poncy shots of them driving sports cars or postsexual brooding.

Even if this film is an adaptation of the trend-setting 1980s TV series that Mann produced, and, on the surface, as neglible as any other TV-to-movie franchising attempt, it still bears the distinctive marks of its writer-director. As usual, the sleek craft is a whole lot of empty pretty, with ample opportunities for high-spirited emoting, but little happening below the surface. It's like a shadowy ad from the opening pages of Vanity Fair come to lifeless life.

I don't think Michael Mann knows what he wants out of filmmaking anymore. I was more interested in reading about all the horrible things that happened while this film was being made than in the actual film itself, which is an indecipherable, self-congratulating romp somewhere in the neighborhood of Miami--I think. More than anything though, this film is unfocused and boring. At least the actors know how to handle firearms.

Would have gotten a 25 because Farrell is hot, but the 'stache detracted from his score, as well as the shitty American accent. C. Hinds (of HBO's series Rome) was pretty good, considering the movie, and the bit part. The movie was confusing, poorly filmed, and without substance. And the mumbling!

Can't say I love the script, but Mann's own style is all over it, so it's more than watchable. It's a fantastic effort in digital photography and the action is viscerally enrapturing. The music, as is par for the course with Mann, is stupendous. It must also be averred: Colin Farrell has never been cooler. I love everything about him in this. On the downside it's overlong, the villain is thoroughly undiabolical, and it's stuffed with too many people from the show that don't need to be there.

Miami Vice isn't a film that's going to do a whole lot more than entertain, but it certainly accomplishes that goal. It's incredibly suspenseful for the majority of its running time, and only loses this when it tries to be something it's not -- meaning when it tries to be a romance or an action movie, it completely falls flat. This is a crisp production that is worth watching, even if a smoother start and more climactic finish would have been very beneficial.

Aside from trivial stuff (the setting, character names, and two reenacted montages), this movie only has one thing in common with its progenitor: an abject lack of realism. Making this an original IP instead would have greatly helped the writers. I gave it a generous score because Mann directs a mean gunfight, and because the photography is almost on par with Manhunter. But as the use of Audioslave reminds us, just as Chris Cornell is past his prime, this film too isn't what it could have been.

Dour, baffling, bizarrely inert outlier in Mann’s filmography boasts arguably the most hideously abrasive cinematography ever committed to 0s and 1s (even stranger that this style was utilised so perfectly in COLLATERAL). Hard to pick one area where this goes so catastrophically wrong; possibly its stripping its two stars of their infectious charm and appeal, while matching them with “lady friends” with whom they share no chemistry (the scenes between Farrell and Li are almost laughable).

The best thing you can say about it is that, at times, it looks like a very atmospheric music video. For those that say that the evocative visuals are enough, no they aren't, because none of the characters evoke anything that can connect with what's on the screen. There is absolutely no chemistry between Farrell and Gong Li, or Farrell and Foxx, and the plot is basically narcomumblecore (please, someone take me out back and shoot me in the head for coming up with that word).

Pretty much ‘Virility: The Movie’, utterly laughable in its blatant superficiality, yet supported by enough visual flair that rendered it immensely watchable.

Viewed March 24, 2017. Mann's hypnotic reinterpretation of the TV show that made him famous is one of the most fascinating films of the modern era, a deeply weird paean to digital photography molded to an abstract portrait of men, their emotions and the cost of their dedication to their employment. An interrogation of the modern world shot across a series of perfect nights for feeling melancholy, the final product ultimately feels a bit like a blockbuster as conceived by Hou Hsiao-Hsien.

Watching it again, I liked it a bit more. It's a shame the script is so bad and loose, because the movie looks so gorgeous. I loved Mann's use of digital/HD cameras rather than traditional film. Thankfully the last 30-ish minutes are decent enough that it ends on a better note. Not a huge recommendation, but if you like Mann/cool cinematography, you could do a lot worse.

Hats off to Mann for filming a big budget movie in noisy desaturated colors that emphasise mood and texture over story and displays little fidelity to its source material. It looks and sounds like no other film, and its style-as-substance digital aesthetic has been influential. The gorgeously stormy skies and nocturnal atmosphere are thoroughly intoxicating, but the narcotic effect is hampered by some bad acting and an unwieldy narrative that is simply lazy rather than impressionistic.

This isn't style over substance; it's style AS substance. Which shouldn't be surprising b/c that's been a major tenet of Mann's career from the beginning. But this takes it to another level. The essence of the story can pretty much be boiled down to: "Look, cops saying cop stuff." Frustrating, but it creates an atmosphere that will without a doubt pull some people in very closely, while at the same time repelling your average Plot Detective far far away. When it's on TV, I stop flipping. *shrug*

Miami Vice could and should of been a decent film considering the talent involved. But it was a massive flop. Visually this is typical Michael Mann, but all round this has got to be his worst film. I don't mind Farrell or Foxx usually, but they're both forgettable here and there performances are dull. And the script is woeful too. There's glimmers of coolness. But the only part I enjoyed was the opening scene with the backing track 'Numb' by Jay Z & Linken Park. Otherwise completely forgettable.

I did not see the original series, but I thought that this film was terrible. Far too much time was spent on the lead's romance and the plot was impossible to follow.

None of the kitch of the tv series and too forced. Limited plot and average acting.

If not fo any other reason, watch it for it's almost experimental use of cinematography and film esthtics.

The plot and dialogue may seem cheesy, but damn me if the visual experience wasn't great. The slick flashy high-life of drug running contrasted against the gritty realism of the police aspect made the film is just one detail in a highly stylized film that is deserving of all the praise it receives.

This rivals Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans for the most jarring, bizarrely happy ending of all time

Mann's finest work, a reinvention of two characters that acknowledges our cultural memory of them by showing off their brutally efficient working relationship and understanding of one another. Very serious, very sexy (Mann, always understanding power and bodies, knows how to utilize shoulders), no room for dumb action hijinks.

Michael Mann brings a moody and hypnotic vision to Miami Vice. Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell are the right men for the job as Tubbs and Crockett but the supporting cast is what really makes this movie work as well as a few smooth twists along the way.

You want to know the reality of this movie? Great marketing, backed by a killer Linkin Park/Jay-Z song, but the film flopped harder than Butterbean from the high-board. I mean my God, it was like they still had a half-hour of movie left, but the editors were like "This peice of shit is already 2 1/2 hours long", so they just STOP the movie. Bullshit. Not even worth a free download.

Until Tarantino hit the scene, Michael Mann was the most obviously on-coke director in all of cinema. Funny that his breakthrough work was a fluffy but awesome TV procedural about hip young dudes ruining his Saturday nights (well, probably his Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings as well). The film version isn't as good, but the nifty HD camerawork makes it look really fucking cool.

The good parts (the first fifteen minutes, the trailer park assault, the end fight) are really good. Everything in between seems incredibly drawn out and uninteresting. You can't convince me this movie needed to be as long as it was.

What a huge disapointment. I loved Heat and Collateral but this was just bad. Where is the amazing character development from Heat? Where is the realistic dialog? This movie is nothing but style.

I actually liked this movie more than I planned on liking it. The acting is over the top in some places, and Jamie Fox really does need to stay away from these roles. With that said, it's a good enough movie to just watch without thinking you are about to watch an award winner. It's a good dumb film.
