Negative Positive
Title: Miami Vice rolls over in grave
Review: This would have garnered a one star if not for a bit of Martin Lawrence, the presence of a nice Ferrari, and the marvelously creepy guy from Fargo. Truly awful, derivative Hollywood mega-movie-sequel-itis dreck. I felt like I was watching an intellectual property / storyline rip-off of the superior Miami Vice. From drugs transported in corpses, to the inevitable showdown w/ the drug dealer on his home turf in Cuba, this film was just horrible and made one appreciate the Michael Mann's treatment the first time around in the early-80's. The ubiquitous Will Smith and his trademark smarminess are painful to watch, while sadly, Martin has to handle the straight guy role without much enthusiasm. After seeing grand cinema like the epic Return of the King, this just makes me groan. Why even bother with plot synopses, I've had enough of this.
