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.

Despite initial public aversion to this piece of cinema it holds back its ground years after premiere with thrilling noir-ish atmosphere with mostly great casting performance and decent writing.

ACUMEN

It's a masterpiece! The bad ratings here just shows that most people have expected something that can't be done. The old crew was too old at that time and the casting is in fact perfect. From the camera to the music to the acting, everything is done the way Michael Mann saw it from the beginning when he created the series. It is a very true revival of the original series.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Although it's often caught in this weird disconnect between attempting to distance itself from its roots and being too cool for school, Michael Mann's Miami Vice is a leaner, meaner and beautifully shot-inspired synthesis of impressionism and hyper-realism. Despite a wildly inconsistent storyline and a severe lack of charisma from its leads when compared to its television counterpart, where Miami Vice succeeds is in its woozy, disorienting, fever-dream ambience, using the moody skyline to reflect its characters, complete with a fabulous soundtrack to boot. Despite their lack of chemistry together, Foxx and Farrell are fine picks for the roles made famous by Thomas and Johnson, playing against their usual type. Often considered the one that got away from him, Miami Vice has only aged gracefully, it's a highly satisfying piece of stylish entertainment, its beauty unparalleled. Gorgeously sombre and ultimately thrilling in its execution from a man who is a master of the medium, whose obsessive concerns for detail, put images of uncommon distinction at the forefront.

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

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

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

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