The producers and directors must have feared that making a movie about this series would feel way too retro so they seem to have gone overboard compensating by updating the feel to be modern.
The result was a very dark and gripping super-deep-undercover crime drama spanning several different Central American countries, crime syndicates, and American anti-crime agencies like the FBI and Miami Vice cops.
The FBI seems to have a leak and can't be trusted to take down the biggest drug lord, so Crockett and Tubbs volunteer for the job and find themselves in some of the most unfriendly places in the universe, but despite it all Crockett behooves the big bad guy's girlfriend played by Gong Li.
Li is by far a much, much bigger actor in Asia than Colin Farrell is here, and naturally she's never done nudity before coming from mainliand China. I can't even fathom what she was thinking getting involved with this movie and even showing a breif nude scene in the shower! She must be wanting out of there and hoping to move to Hollywood.
Her performance was fine, but the chemistry between her and Farrell was lacking. This film was clearly a bad career choice for her. It was interesting seeing a sexy Chinese woman dancing the Lambada in Havana though...
All in all, this was an interesting film as I haven't even seen anything in it's genre come out in a long while.

MIAMI VICE follows the violent adventures of Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Tubbs (Jamie Foxx). With Miami at the centre of a global drug trade, their job of stopping illegal trafficking is hard and dangerous work, yet they are also rewarded with gorgeous girls and local celebrity. But their access to wealth, drugs, and power is tempting, and both men continually struggle with personal demons to stay on the right side of the law. In 1984, director Michael Mann made television--and fashion--history with his action-packed, neon-lit crime series, MIAMI VICE. The series was a hit for five years and became a cultural phenomenon. Now Mann, who has made quite a career for himself in Hollywood, with Oscar-nominated films including ALI, HEAT, and THE INSIDER, updates his small-screen hit for the movie going public, crafting a sparkling, roller-coaster ride of a movie that is perfectly complemented by its bright colours and kinetic movement. From a frenetic opening scene at a nightclub to an undercover infiltration of a South American drug cartel, the action barely lets up. And when Crockett meets the irresistible Isabella (Chinese bombshell Gong Li), the mistress of hotshot drug dealer Jesus Montoya (Luis Tosar), business mixes dangerously with pleasure, on dance floors and between sheets. As he did with the television show, Mann manages to make a guilty pleasure psychologically nuanced and politically charged--eye candy with depth. And despite the mesmerizing cinematography, the actors manage to be as striking as their surroundings, turning in strong, dynamic performances.
