Writer and director
Michael Mann updates the groundbreaking television
crime series he created in the 1980s with this stylish
thriller.
Ricardo Tubbs (
Jamie Foxx) and
Sonny Crockett (
Colin Farrell) are two police detectives working undercover in Florida;
Tubbs is smart, cool, and resourceful, while
Crockett has his own way of doing things, though he stays close enough to the rules to stay out of trouble. Their latest assignment is to get the goods on
Arcangel de Jesus Montoya (
Luis Tosar), a local drug kingpin whose men are believed to be responsible for a handful of recent murders. In order to infiltrate
Montoya's operation,
Tubbs and
Crockett pose as powerboat racers willing to use their talents to pilot drug-smuggling ships for the right price. The detectives' ruse works, but as they dig deeper into
Montoya's inner circle, they become involved in a dangerous operation that will take them to Haiti and Cuba, where neither the Miami Police Force nor the United States government can help them if things go wrong.
Crockett also begins walking a risky path when he begins an affair with
Isabella (
Gong Li), a woman high up in
Montoya's organization.
Miami Vice marked
Michael Mann's third consecutive directorial effort with
Jamie Foxx after
Ali and
Collateral. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
