We took a chance on Miami Vice on Pay Per View last night. It was awful. The acting was stiff. The plot was a train wreck. There wasn't a speck of joy in the movie it all. Even the glitzy highly produced stuff seemed to be just completely flat.
For an action movie it was incredibly hard to follow. Many of the lines were mumbled. And when they weren't mumbling they were talking in this terse code that I hard a hard time following in the beginning, but in the end just couldn't care less about. Yeah, by the end, I just wanted it to stop.
It's said that this is the Miami Vice that MIchael Mann always wanted to make. Wow, I'm glad he didn't get a chance in the series. All of the fun and hokie stuff in the series was gone in this film. Replaced with this callous dry woodeness that was too hard to take.
Ugh, don't buy, don't rent, don't see. Walk away if someone has it on the TV. It's that bad.

Most of the drama took place in Cuba and south america and even Geneva- Miami was limited to a few roof tops and a few shots of the city scape from the ocean. Very disappointing.
