A case involving drug lords and murder in South Florida takes a personal turn for undercover detectives Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx). Unorthodox Crockett gets involved romantically with the Chinese-Cuban wife of a trafficker of arms and drugs, while Tubbs deals with an assault on those he loves.

Critics Consensus

Miami Vice is beautifully shot but the lead characters lack the charisma of their TV series counterparts, and the underdeveloped story is well below the standards of Michael Mann's better films.

A deadly serious, stylishly noirish, but fundamentally insubstantial thriller.

Miami Vice is a movie made by a man whose mastery of the medium, and whose obsessive concerns for detail, put images of uncommon distinction on the big screen.

Everyone in this story, apart from our dissembling heroes, turns out to be exactly what they seem.

5/5

…Michael Mann’s terse, supple dialogue is part of the reason that Miami Vice is fast becoming appreciated as a modern classic, a soulful neo-noir copshow that was way, way ahead of its time in 2006…a scaldingly radical take that rings the changes…

8/10

Complete with mind-blowing cinematography and a wildly inconsistent storyline, Miami Vice is one of Mann’s most impressive spectacles.

3/4

If nothing else, watch it for a gruff and wounded performance by Farrell, a serious turn by Foxx, and how well Mann uses the moody Miami sky to reflect his characters.

Jamie Foxx is great in this movie. The rest of the movie is mid at best.

If you like action, a good twisted story, fantastic actors apparently really enjoying themselves: Run For It ! Michael Mann in greet shape makes it worth the next 2 hours. Forget the 80’s TV show, this is the real deal ! Wonderful scenery, great music, realistic approaches and fight / combat scenes. You can’t regret watching this, it works even if you’re a fan of the old series…. What are you waiting for ?

This one made me finally sign up to leave a review. Watched it because I’m checking out Jamie Foxx Roles I haven’t seen. He couldn’t save this film. Too generic and predictable. Copy and Paste from similar films. For being undercover they could not act more like cops. The music from the very start ruined the entire tone of the movie for me. I’m supposed to believe they are in a Miami club listening to linkin park and Jay-Z collab?…. many actors did well I actually thought Naomie Harris stood out the most. It wasn’t bad because of the actors, they just couldn’t void the downsides.

Colin Farrell holds this film together . There are a few very badly done moments and the plot gets a little sloppy . But over all it’s a good watch

The series was definitely one of my all time favorites. This version just seems miscasted, lacking a decent storyline, and not even close to being modernized with its production. Mostly boring. You would think with the money budgeted for movies, they could WOW you with an iconic version of the show.
