Miami Vice
Quick Summary
The 2006 film Miami Vice, directed by Michael Mann, is a cinematic adaptation of the popular 1980s television series of the same name. While the original show, also executive produced by Mann, was known for its vibrant colors and stylish fashion, the film takes a darker, more visually gritty approach. Starring Jamie Foxx as Detective Tubbs and Colin Farrell as Detective Crockett, the movie delves into the intense undercover work of two detectives tackling drug cartels and other criminal elements in South Florida. Mann utilized digital cinematography for the film, a then-innovative technique that contributed to its distinct visual style. The film received mixed reviews upon its release but has since been re-evaluated by some as a notable work in Mann's filmography.12
