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.

I liked the style & visuals of the movie but the plot needed more work.

A so-so police movie with a weak plot, shaky camera work, and cardboard characters. Pacing and audio was off. It’s not as good as Bad Boys or even a regular episode of Miami Vice. I cannot believe the guy who did Heat made this movie.

Michael Mann’s movie adaptation differs significantly compared to the tv series. Although the visuals and battle scenes are fantastic as usual from Mann and his team… the plot seems very flat and dry with characters that are one dimensional.

It was solid. Some fun parts but not a super engaging narrative. Odd that stuff like this continues to get remade

We need more movies with speedboats, this movie also needed more speedboat scenes. Jamie Foxx is in multiple nightclubs, shootouts, and has his girl blow up and never speaks over a whisper, incredible.

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