    Although it was entertaining during most parts, the adaptation just doesn't remind of the original TV series.

    What happened!?! How could a director of one of the coolest shows on TV miss the boat so badly directing a big screen version? I was a fan of the show, and this doesn't even BEGIN to do it justice.

    Mann apparently completely blacked out his entire memory of what made Miami Vi...( read more)ce so special. Yeah, this film had all the elements -- handsome cops, scary drug dealers, Miami scenery, cool musical score -- but SOMETHING was definitely missing. With the show, you could almost FEEL the heat of the Florida sun in the day and the balmy breezes at night. You could almost smell the salty air and the sweat of the citzens. Didn't get that at all here.

    Maybe it was the casting. Jamie Foxx did an OK job with the Tubbs role, but Colin Farrell just didn't work for me as Crockett. Don Johnson at least brought a bit of good old boy humor to the role. Farrell was deadly serious throughout, almost constipative. I was over an hour into the film before he even smiled the first time.

    And lord help us -- what the hell was that mustache all about? I guess they were trying to give Sonny some type of style, like Johnson had with the pastel clothes. But please. He must have stolen that thing from the set of either a 70's porn flick or a 60's spaghetti western. That greasy biker hairstyle didn't help either.

    And the storyline...holy moses. I could drag a locomotive with a rope faster than this thing moved along. I think they took an hour-long episode (most of them weren't all that complicated to begin with) and just padded it to fill 2+ hours of screen time.

    To be honest I didn't even finish watching the thing. It was so slow, I fell asleep halfway through. But somehow I don't think I missed anything that I'll be kicking myself for later.

    A dark, stylish, gripping and adreniline-pumping action-packed edge of your seat thriller. It's a heart-pounding thrill-ride that kicks serious ass and hits harder than most crime drama's in it's field. Dirdctor, Michael Mann crafts a solid, compelling and razor-sharp film. Colin...( read more) Farrell and Jamie Foxx are teriffic.

    This movie is soooo very much alike afew others made during the time, Training Day, Harsh Times, Collateral and the recent Street Kings. The same meaning, looks, action sequences, style and cast. Vice looks truely cool, ice cool, the cast and costumes are so so very slick and sty...( read more)lish. The look of the film is pure Mann in style and the way its filmed, which makes it very similar to 'Collateral', unfortunatley thats about it.

    The whole film is very boring with lots of dialog which means nothing much hehe the guys simple swan around in shiny cars and flash outfits being cool, kinda like an aftershave ad. The final gun battle is brilliant though, it just about saves the film. Its loud, realistic and brutal and is the best Ive seen in awhile.

    Watch it for that.

    Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs were more stylish back in the TV show.
    But that's not the problem cause Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx also look good.

    What confused me more was the fact that "Miami Vice" didn't take place in Miami. That's stupid. Why take "Miami Vice" to Colo...( read more)mbia?
    And then we can start by referring the script which is hollow without any kind of taste.
    The story is really bad. It doesn't make sense!
    The detectives begin searching the FBI killers, and then they end up arresting some middle man from Colombia (or something like this)!

    Michael Mann you are much better than this.
