Miami Vice


The classic television franchise that was Miami Vice is being dragged through the sorted, remake muck and mire, by the very director that originally brought it to life, Michael Mann. You know the film is bad when they reference two of Mann's least entertaining films, Heat and the abominable Collateral in the promo. To further evicerate the golden memory of the original they have replaced the shiny, shallow insolence that was the 1980's Don Johnson with that sawed-off half-pint wannabe, Colin "Alexander the Ingrate" Farrell and the totally stiff non-actor, Philip Michael Thomas, with that overhyped, Oscar-fix-is-in, he can't carry Jim Carrey stained jockstrap, black angus, Jamie Foxx.
All they got left is the boat and some fancy lighting, sad.

Our entertainment options are cheapened and diminished everyday.
