Miami vice was one of the most exciting and stylish shows in the 1980s.I can remember way back in 1985 when the show premiered in the uk for first time being blown away by it.It was totally different to anything seen on tv at the time.When the show was originally devised it was to appeal to the mtv generation who liked a mix of music with there action.The show transcended this original layout and ran for five seasons from 1984 to 1989.It focused on a elite team of VICE detevtives in miami.They were led by the tactiurn Costillo( Edward james olmos) and the star detectives Crockett( Don johnson) and Tubbs( Philip micheal thomas).Every week they would tackle crime in Miami and they would not always emerge with good results.The fashion of the show with the way the stars dressed also raised interest in the show with the electric music adding the drama of the show.
The dvd which features the pilot and two parter episodes are both excellent.The pilot sees tubbs travelling to miami to track down Underworld kingpin Calderone.He teams up with miami detective crockett and a exciting game of cat and mouse occurs. The golden triangle episodes sees an old adversary of costillo return to miami which places the streets in danger.All three episodes are well directed and acted and show the series at the top of its game.
The dvd sound and picture quality are very good and is a must for fans of the show
Advantages: None I can think of. Disadvantages: Dismal acting. Poor plot. Avoid this dreadful movie remake of a classic TV series
Chinese actress Gong Li, and Tubbs falling for a police colleague Dectective Trudy Joplin (Naomie Harris). While both actresses provide admirable eye candy for male viewers they do little else to redeem the movie.
When the plot isn't confusing the life out of you it simply drags, and even the action and chase sequences aren't enough to stimulate much more than passing interest. What makes it worse is that the movie is very long, running for over 2 hours.
I have this movie in my DVD collection (recorded from Sky Movies) in order to ensure my MiamiVice collection is complete, but when I want a fix of Crockett and Tubbs it's not this film I reach for but the absolutely marvellous complete box set of the original TV series.
Michael Mann somehow lost his way with this movie, and it's not one that I could in any way recommend.
If you still ...

Advantages: Jamie Foxx in the shower Disadvantages: Weak story, poor performances
Having watched and enjoyed the spoof re-make of Starskey & Hutch a few years ago I rented this film in the hope that I might find a film on a similar vein or a least a bit of 80s nostalgia for the eponymous TV series. It just shows that I need to research films a lot more before I add them to my rental list! Firstly there is no comedy and secondly there is no 80s nostalgia - no designer stubble, electro pop soundtrack or rolled up jacket sleeves. What we have here is just a generic, present day, cop 'buddy' movie that happens to be set in Miami at least some of the time.
The film jumps straight into the action as Crockett (Colin Farrell with dodgy hair and an even dodgier moustache) and Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) are in a nightclub trying to make a bust when Crockett gets a call from one of their informants who has been working ...
