Advantages: Numb/Encore Soundtrack Disadvantages: Dull, Uninspiring, Bad dialogue, Overlong
I really wanted to like Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. I tried hard. After seeing respectable performances in Ali (Foxx) and The Recruit (Farrell) I began thinking something like "Yeah, these guys could maybe take my interest in future movies." Unfortunately for me, the next two films I saw them star in were Jarhead and S.W.A.T.. To say that I was mildly pissed off with those two films would be a huge understatement.
After sampling Michael Mann's work for the first time with the sheer brilliance that was 1995's Heat, I expected great things. After a decent opening scene in the club, aided by the Numb/Encore Linkin Park/Jay-Z mix, I thought yeah, the groundwork in MiamiVice had been set. Almost immediately after that song ended though the plot had lost me entirely; I just couldn't believe just how tedious and frustrating the rest ...
Advantages: Excellent direction Disadvantages: No plot!!!
First review on here for a long time, so be gentle with me!!! I have been doing a 'Classical Hollywood Cinema' module as part of my degree so I thought it might be an idea to have a go at a film review...
Here goes!
Plot
For those of you familiar with the original TV series, this is a cop drama following two vice squad detectives, Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Tubbs (Jamie Foxx). The basic plot revolves around the pair infiltrating a gang of drug dealers (the FBI were supposed to be doing this but their agents are exposed as working for the FBI and therefore Miami police get involved as they are unknown to the dealers). There is also a subplot of Tubbs' girlfriend being kidnapped by white supremacists. To be honest, there isn't too much of a plot and what there is seems to be pieced together through by some very tenuous links ...

DVD Description
Sizzling with sex and sin, Miami was the perfect setting for this classic 1980s cop show starring Don Johnson, Philip Michael Thomas, and Edward James Olmos. From the minds of Michael Mann and Dick Wolf, this series used the MTV-influenced music and style to great effect. Johnson and Thomas play detective duo Crockett and Tubbs who pose as members of the city's criminal underworld as they battle their own inner demons. A generation of men followed the style of the pair, wearing the pastel-jacket-and-t-shirt combo that Johnson and Thomas made so famous. Contains all the episodes from series 3.
