Good to hear. I've no idea why I didn't bother to see it when it came out in theatres. Could be due to the relatively tepid reviews it got over here; were they as bad on the other side of the pond?
MIAMI VICE. So much does this film rule that it should change its name to Her Majesty the Queen! Forget Bond and Bourne - this is the most stylish and gripping (would-be) franchise flick in years.
Admittedly, it's marred by "Hewey, Dewey and Lewey" dialogue, whereby lines (often wretchedly cliched and needlessly expositionary) are artificially shared between characters, with one doing the beginning, another the middle, and another the end, just so it looks as though they're all, like, important people in the script, and so that Crockett and Tubbs get to unleash equal amounts of unutterable gibberish that even George Lucas would have rejected.... but the cinematography, music, locations, outstanding action scenes, and, above all, director Michael Mann's virtuoso command of atmsophere and suspense more than make up for the film's shortcomings. See how many in-joke references to HEAT you can spot.
Also bought the sixth season of the always terrific SOPRANOS.
Dunno, really. I think most of the reviews I read (thanks to my doing most of my review-reading on the net) are non-British. I'm under the impression that MIAMI VICE garnered fairly "meh" reviews from "professional" critics worldwide (ironic given Mann's attempt to make an art film disguised as a summer popcorn action flick).
There's the stench of a (relative) flop about MIAMI VICE, and it's also damned by the faint praise of those tepid reviews; what's more, the film bears the clearest hallmarks of a "troubled" production, TND-style hasty rewrites, and frenzied eve-of-release repair work in the cutting room. For all that, though, it's still head and shoulders above most everything else released this year, and, needless to say, a few million times better than other recent big screen resurrections of TV fare like CHARLIE'S ANGELS and THE DUKES OF HAZZARD.
"Better than THE DUKES OF HAZZARD" - how's that's for faint praise?
Nah, see MIAMI VICE - it's excellent.
