Miami Vice the Movie Sucked
January 24th, 2008My review on this one is gonna be really short and sweet, unfortunately. Don’t watch it or rent it. Although, if you like Jaimie Foxx and Colin Farrell a whole lot, you may want to ignore my advice. This movie is pure, boring, schlock. In fact, we only made it through about 15 minutes of the movie before turning it off. Sure enough, it does capture a bit of the TV show’s steamy, seemy feel of the underbelly of the Miami crime scene, but the guitar music in the background of the beginning is enough to turn you off if you’re not into the fast cars, fast women, cheeseball scene.
Right off, Colin Farrell really stinks up the screen. I’m not sure what the big deal is that has been made about him being the next up and coming huge talent in Hollywood, but I just don’t see it. His American accent is horrible and his acting is stiff and predictable. As far as caring about the characters, we could have cared less whether they lived or died, had girlfriends or families, or whether they were ever going to make a sequel.
I’m not sure how this movie did commercially, I think it may have done ok, but it’s funny how no one talks about it and it seems to have disappeared extremely quickly from Netflix recommend and new release lists, which is the sign of a dud.
