Actually no... anyone who cannot realize that the movie was in fact a brilliant piece of Mann work needs to retire from criticizing those who apparently have no taste in movies whatsoever.
MIAMI VICE IS FUCKING GARBAGE.
It's nothing but a bunch of pretty looking garbage and a testament to Michael Mann's massive ego.
Does it look good? Yep. Are the locations well scouted? Yep. Is the drug situation modern? Yep.
But that movie is an incomprehensible mess of self-righteous circle-jerkery, bad acting, and sweaty pigass Colin Farrell rubbing up against of some asian bitch that's respected in a subculture somewhere.
It does nothing to move the audience, emotionally engage them, or get them interested in the plot whatsoever.
Of course I fail to mention completely disrespecting the concept of the original show.
I'm not even going to open pandora's box on the silliness of taking a glamourous, colorful show with plenty of brevity in Seasons 1-2 to a hyper-serious, gritty cop drama in Seasons 3+ which was entirely Mann's decision.
I've seen every episode of the original series and Collateral is one of my favorite movies of all time fyi.
