Title: It should have been left alone...
Product review: I believe my husband said it best after we watched the movie a few hours ago. On it's own, it would have been a decent movie... but slapping the Miami Vice title on it, as well as the familiar character names is it's downfall. Part of what made the show so great was the 80s cheese, and there's none of that in this movie. Too many times 'classics' are modernized and ruined in the process, look at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Depp did a good job in it but otherwise it sucked and I'll take the the Wilder version any day.In my opinion, this movie came too late. By doing it now, they were left with basically two choices, make a lame spoof of it like Starsky & Hutch or change it like they did. It really was a lose/lose situation and really it should have just been left alone.
