Miami Vice

To be honest, I was never much of a “Miami Vice” fan when it was on TV. Even as a teenager, it was apparent to me that it was trying way too hard and that, frankly, it was all pretty silly.

Well, Michael Mann grew up and his characters put on socks. And in probably an inevitable move, he came back to “Miami Vice.” The film incarnation does not have much of a connection to the television series, for good or for ill, but more of a successor to “Heat,” “Ronin” and “Collateral,” with insanely gorgeous (digital video) cinematography is its biggest asset.

Worth a watch for Michael Mann’s modern film work. It’ll probably just be frustrating for hardcore fans of the television show, though.
