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.

The writer-director Michael Mann can have you believe almost anything... Miami Vice is rife with implausibilities yet so firmly rooted in what looks and sounds like reality that suspension of disbelief is almost mandatory -- at least for a while. Aug 11, 2006 | Full Review…

Mann is the master of nighttime digital photography, and he fills the screen with stunning images and some intricately choreographed shoot-out scenes that I just loved. Aug 7, 2006

The film will have Mann fans applauding his decision to axe the pastels and neon of the TV series for a harder attitude and updated style, though others may not be so forgiving of the unintelligible dialogue and lack of ending. Dec 10, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

So solemn and straight-faced is this violent expansion of the old show, under the precise, glossy and macho directing hand of the series' creator Michael Mann, that it skirts awfully close at times to unintentional self-parody. Dec 10, 2018 | Full Review…

Mann does deserve credit for wanting to do something new with the material. It's just too bad he spent so much time making changes in costuming, art direction, soundtrack and character, only to turn around and tell the same old story. Dec 10, 2018 | Full Review…
