Tagline: No Orders, No Rules, No Law
Plot: Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born intel analyst Trudy (Naomie Harris), as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders.Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) ]to the untrained eye, his presentation may seem unorthodox, but procedurally he is sound] is charismatic and flirtatious until-while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group-he gets romantically entangled with Isabella, the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs trafficker. Isabella (Gong Li). The best undercover identity is oneself with the volume turned up and restraint unplugged. The intensity of this case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one-especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves. Miami Vice, as a large-scale feature film, liberates what is adult, dangerous and alluring about working deeply undercover...especially when Crockett and Tubbs go to where their badges don't

 ...As cop movies go, Miami Vice does interesting things with unoriginal material. This is to its credit - movies with more have failed, while this one succeeds on the basis of its fervor and immediacy. It's not the ultimate as either a cop movie or a TV adaptation, but it's better than average in both categories.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Long, lugubrious, and paced to allow us to actually watch the beads of sweat pop up on the actor’s skin, if, that is, they were actually allowed to sweat in the tropical climate in which they exist, this has Razzie written all over it, and it’s the only writing in this whole sordid mess that even comes close to making sense.  --Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
I got the feeling that Mann remains embarrassed by the '80s-cheese, fashion-plate showiness of his beloved series, and that he was determined not to fall back into it. His movie, as entertaining as some of it is, is so cool that it's almost too cool. It takes the sin, and much of the juice, out of vice. B--Owen Gleiberman (Entertainment Weekly)

| The visuals are arresting, but Michael Mann's update on the quintessentially '80s series is an otherwise glum and glummer proposition. --Michael Rechtshaffen (Hollywod Reporter)
