Title: A must miss
Product review: The theatrical version of "Miami Vice" was a huge disappointment. It lacks a coherent plot, and like its TV counterpart, it's all style (or wants to be) and very little substance. About the only thing going for it is the atmospheric cinematography. But with little to no plot, it's a hard one to sit through.The always stellar Jamie Foxx is completely wasted - he has little to do but act as back up for his hot headed partner (not a bad way to collect a multi-million dollar payout); the other detectives on the team have literally no screen time at all.I was expecting a lot more considering it was directed by Michael Mann. It wasn't even on par with a cheesy Jerry Bruckheimer film. I was shocked that two relatively good actors were reduced to this tripe - the acting was so stiff that Colin Farrell (who needed a shower desperately) makes Don Johnson look like a thespian.
