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.

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

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

Joe Morgenstern

Wall Street Journal

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.

Independent (UK)

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

Alan French

Sunshine State Cineplex

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

Rated: 8/10

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 3/4

Film Frenzy

Mann has elected to turn this Vice into something altogether leaner and meaner - if not necessarily tighter.

Rated: 2.5/4

Beautiful film. What a huge challenge to take on the absolute cheese of Miami vice, and Mann does a great job of honoring the original while also bringing it up to date.

Filme: Miami Vice Elenco: @colinfarrellfoundation @iamjamiefoxx @officialgongli @naomieharris @johnortiz718 Luis Tosar, @isaachdebankole Modelo: #ação #policial Duração: 2h 14m Ano: 2006 Minha opinião: Miami Vice foi um seriado de sucesso da década de 80 e teve 5 temporadas, onde tivemos Don Johnson, Philip M. Thomas. E fizeram este filme em 2006 agora com Farrell e Foxx. O roteiro deste filme já vimos em vários capítulos do seriado, então não foi algo novo, para quem assistia ao seriado. Sonny (Farrell) e Ricardo (Foxx) entram no cartel de drogas como piloto de lanchas de velocidade, pois desta forma é onde traficam as drogas. E o líder que a policia quer prender ele não vem para EUA e como prende-lo? Para entrar eles tem que convencer José o líder nos EUA e Isabella que a mulher Arcángel o líder. E assim temos várias cenas ao estilo de Bad Boys mais sério. Muitos tiros, correria e claro sempre temos o rebelde que Sonny e se envolve com Isabella. E claro que a trama vai se tornando mais arrochado. Dentro desta correria temos este romance. Até chegar o fnal onde o pau quebra. Uma pena que não fizeram um 2º filme, assim como não fizeram Esquadrão Classe A, Gatões, Agente 86,.... Uma pena, pois a nostalgia de uma época. Assim como vem comprovando com o Filme do Homem Aranha e Deedpool e Wolverine, e as musicas os 80 que tem sido sucesso em vários filmes. Pois quem viveu essa época esta aqui vivinho da Silva. Roteiro e enredo como já comentei roteiro já conhecido pois já foram feitos no seriado. Um filme que não alcançou o sucesso que quiseram, talvez um dos motivos foi a escolha dos atores, não que foram maus, mas tinham melhores. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 7

This movie is just fantastic. If you are a fan of Michael Mann, you’ll appreciate the aesthetics of the movie. I really enjoy his work and the runtime doesn’t bother me, but if you don’t like the pacing of the film, I can understand how some won’t enjoy it as much. The movie is a Cool Drug Heist Noir that has aged better with time because the movie is set in 2007 and on the cusp of smart phones and social media so the cat and mouse aspects of the film play out differently then they do now. I just really enjoy the genre and the overall coolness of the film. To each their own :)

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I love Michael Mann, he went on location in Uruguay, and Haiti, and called the cinematography "maximum chroma saturation". Yes it was hard to hear the dialogue. Loved the character of Isabella, as well.
