Michael Mann sure knows his stuff. In Heat, Collateral, and now Miami Vice, he mixes us just the right amount of guns, cars, a dash of romance, and a fast paced plot. Granted, the story of Miami Vice is not as deep as Heat, but it still is plenty entertaining.
The movie is about two undercover cops who infiltrate a big drug smuggling organization. Pretty soon they got entwined into this world and Sonny (Colin Farrel) especially faced the risk of losing sight of the original objective. But he declared he hasn’t and proved it, somewhat, in the movie’s action packed climax reminiscent of Heat’s street shootout.
There are chick flicks and there are guy flicks. This is definitely a guy flick. And definitely not an art film. But don’t think that’s bad!
Rating: 4/5
