Review
Michael Mann brings the neon and pastel TV crime show of vice cops and paradise (on which he was a visual consultant) to the big screen as an international undercover thriller that sends detectives Crockett and Tubbs (Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx taking the roles created by Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas) to South America on the trail of drug cartel. It’s pure procedural thriller with a romantic twist tossed in (via the striking presence of Gong Li), but personal lives (to say nothing of personality) are otherwise superfluous to Mann’s fascination with the detail of modern crime and law enforcement, and professionalism and loyalty in a world of suspicion and double crosses. Naomie Harris, Elizabeth Rodriguez, and Justin Theroux fill out the team, Ciaran Hinds is the FBI contact, and Barry Shabaka Henley is the vice boss. Dion Beebe gives the film an intense, edgy look with the digital photography. Available in separate R-rated theatrical and unrated Director's cuts, which runs 7 minutes longer and features exclusive commentary and bonus featurettes.
