be instantly transported back to 1984. But this
groundbreaking series, with its cinematic
sensibility, cool clothes, and killer soundtrack
is no mere blast from the past. It still rocks.
This three-disc set would be worthless if it
didn't. Music was an integral part of Miami Vice's
hip vibe. The soundtrack propelled the stories and

the first thing you want to know is: Have the
music rights been secured for this DVD release? In
the pilot episode, does Phil Collins's "In the Air
Tonight" still play ominously as vice undercover
cops Crockett and Tubbs speed toward a bust? Does
Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" serenade Sonny

stardom, including a pre-L.A. Law Jimmy Smits in
the pilot, a pre-Crime Story Dennis Farina in
"One-Eyed Jack," and a pre-Moonlighting Bruce
Willis in "No Exit." Miami Vice put a neon sheen

DVD Description

One of the most popular television shows of the 1980s, MIAMI VICE helped define the fashion and music of the period while simultaneously maintaining a high quality police drama standard. The show is famous for its pastel colours and bright south Florida settings, which serve to counteract the sleaze its main characters often had to deal with. Sonny and Rico are two cops who work undercover for the Miami Police Department. They must balance their myriad personal problems with the difficulty of being undercover in some of Miami's most rotten criminal businesses. Luckily, upbeat 80s music and their own personal sense of cool help. MIAMI VICE made a star out of Don Johnson, who eventually won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Sonny, and supporting star Edward James Olmos (as a police captain) won both a Golden Globe and an Emmy. MIAMI VICE is a fascinating cultural document of the 1980s as well as an effective and exciting cop show.

Cold, tight, detached professionalism
Review of Miami Vice DVD by harlequin21

Advantages: Fantastic visuals; intense attention to detail; atmospheric; great direction; partnership between Farrell and Foxx captured well
Disadvantages: Lack of character drama; overly heavy storyline; visuals superficially come out on top; drawn out in places; distanced from audience

...Giving an extremely popular 80s series a re-do is no doubt a challenge. Indeed, it has been said that Miami Vice did for the 80s what the Sopranos did for the late 90s and beyond. Taking the basic premise of the original series and reshaping and condensing it into a film is a task that Michael Mann (who was an executive producer in the series) is well suited to. He's demonstrated directorial masterclass in Heat, the Insider, Collateral and Ali, one of the most competent directors around today. Not only has he adopted his own unique and brilliant visceral trademark, but his films have a taste for sharp, intense scripts, meticulous attention to detail, atmosphere, and tight, tense plots. Miami Vice holds all of these fundamental traits, and with the aim to live up to the series as well as Mann's past films, it is no doubt his most... Read review

Original TV show miles better
Review of Miami Vice DVD by yanakorsten

Advantages: Not many
Disadvantages: several

...Boring and difficult to follow the plot . This is an action film and therefore I would expect it to be fast paced and exciting ,not requiring that much concentration in order to understand what the plot is about. I got bored after fifteen minutes because I really could not understand what was going on . Colin Farrell managed to look ugly and I will admit that one of the components that drew me to the DVD is that he is usually not exactly hard on the eyes. Let us just say that long hair is not his forte. As to performances, well I did not expect much because of the genre and I did not get much . Wooden and desperately trying to look cool . The original TV series is miles better than this. The special effects were fine but nothing earth shaking . As for the soundtrack, again , not a patch on the original TV series.... Read review
