Trivia:
Michael Mann had his actors train with real-life undercover law enforcement officers. Both Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell observed undercover operations from a safe distance. Colin Farrell was told he'd learned so much, he was welcome to participate in a real sting operation. During the operation (caught on video, excerpts of which are shown in the DVD extra), guns were drawn and the officers identities questioned. Farrell reports being scared for his life. He spontaneously ripped open his shirt to demonstrate he wasn't wearing a wire, an act the agent-in-charge later commended for being realistic, quick-witted improvisation. After suffering anxiety and insomnia that night, Farrell contacted the agent-in-charge and was told that the sting operation was staged and that Farrell was never in any danger; he was to be told the next morning during a debrief.

Goofs:
Factual errors: When Ricardo is translating the email when they are on the ship, he chooses the origin language as English and the destination language as Spanish. Yet, when he presses translate, it translates from Spanish to English.

I don't see why people are giving so bad reviews to this one. Granted, the movie has nothing to do with the old TV-series, and some people probably did expect to see more action from this title.
But if you do what I did, and go see this movie without any expectations at all, this movie will surprise you.
With Miami Vice, Michael Mann is taking movie realism to whole new level, something he started with Collateral, which already was quite realistic movie if you ignore the cheesy ending, and some other bits.
Yes there is less action, but all the action in this movie is much more satisfying than in a ordinary movie, I don't recall seeing so realistic gunfights in any other movie. There is no real beginning or ending in this movie, the viewer is just dropped into middle of it, and it's just seamless realistic experience. No vaporous comedy.
This is something that could have actually happened in real life, but it is still entertainment. There is no typical movie clichés, no actor stands out with too good or bad acting, they all did a great job. Great casting too.
Visually Miami Vice was stunning, the usage of digital cameras when shooting this added lot to the realism. Also the music score of this movie was great stuff.
If you are just looking for brainless action, with guns, cars, and nice looking girls, skip this movie, but if you want deeper, and more realistic movie go ahead and see this. 10/10 Best movie of this summer.
