Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Adevaal Voxx A lot of bad reviews for this film, and as undeservedly as they are, the arguments have a sort of merit. Namely the spare and crisp dialog, which, with every word illuminates another twist, might leave some confused as to why the events unfolding are happening, but an attentive viewer will find nuance, style and machismo blending beautifully and epic, into a film that can be almost endlessly re watched if given a few months each time. Mann directs an absolutely mesmerizing Ferrell and even manages to allow Foxx not being made for the role to creep into our minds as a possibility, as he delivers a performance i think would have been far less impressive without judicious and liberal time on the cutting room floor. Formulaic? Nah, just something of a standard done so well, you can hardly remember it ever sounding so good.

Floated2 Miami Vice (2006) starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx, portraying their roles of the popular 1980's television series. Farrell takes over playing the role of undercover cop Sonny Crockett, who works with his partner Ricardo Tubbs to dissolve into a South American drug smuggling operation. Well put into the film, and together both characters risk their lives to discover how some blew the cover on a crucial FBI operation. But as they venture deeper and deeper into a jungle of evil, posing as professional smugglers, they run the risk of losing their moral compasses along the way. After a tense meeting with a nervous drug dealer named Jose Yero (John Ortiz), they're taken all the way to an encounter with the cartel's Colombian prince of darkness. The chemistry between Farrell and Foxx isn't as great as it could have been, or perhaps that is how it was meant to be portrayed, as it did not come off as natural and at times forced.Within the film Miami Vice starts off relatively slow but becomes a better film and more entertaining as the films goes on, though with a predictable and typical ending we have seen before. Nothing much stands out in this film as it isn't as stylish or over the top with action as advertised. More so a slow paced drama than an exciting and thrilling action thriller. Containing some confusing and overlong scenes adding noting much. With a very large and unnecessary budget of $135 million with only making $163 million worldwide, we are wondered why this film needed a budget of this large, causing a massive flop, and receiving more negative and disappointing reviews.

patrick_foley If, like me, you thought this film would resemble the TV series of the same name you are very much mistaken. Aside from a select few character names this film bears no resemblance to the TV series and really should have been called something else. The film was long winded, meandering and lacking any interesting plot lines. Dull dialogue interspersed with explosions and sex scenes is what you can expect from this over-hyped flop of a film. The interaction between Sonny and Rico was stunted and underdeveloped. In the TV series they formed a real bond, in the movie they appear to almost despise each other. They have focused too hard on creating a 'hard-man' image and foregone the charm and wit of the original characters, making them seem very scripted and unbelievable. Overall this film masquerades under the facade of a fantastic TV series and will leave anyone who enjoyed the series thoroughly disappointed.

jdfrit-932-570092 this was a video game more than a movie. shallow directing, predictable gunfights, etc. etc. also i did not relate to the cast as an American who has lived and died in Miami. LOL. why didn't they get don Johnson and do the Miami scene? this was a dark scene movie that could have been filmed at the vault in New york city. i fell asleep thru most of the predictable undercover script. when i woke up to the sounds of gunshots, it looked just like any first person shooter computer game that i have played. also, the simplistic video clues were right out of a video game as well; for example, the skinhead with a swastika tattoo is a video game cue that we, the dumbed-down audience, are being introduced to one of the movie's "bad guys". A very cartoon-like development of characters, plot, and a not quite authentic Miami scene that strikes most Americans as foreign, i.e., alien, like the Irish actor who is about as American as Vladimir Putin.
