Over the weekend, I went to see "Miami Vice." First of all, I must say that I was extremely thankful that I had a free ticket. I cannot imagine paying to watch it! Really it was not anything like what the older series was like. First of all, when one does a movie in which the star is extremely extremely extremely good looking (like Don Johnson in his "miami vice" days) you try to find a guy who can keep the audience distracted with his looks if he can't act. Now, Jamie Foxx did his part really well but really, I could have thought of a lot more better looking guys than Colin Farrell. This was the first disappointment.
Then there was the movie. It was definitely overrated and I know I have seen better movies about drug busts. Maybe living in South Florida has something to do with it also. I figure that the place was too common. How common is the I-95 especially when you travel on it all the time? Oh and the Don Johnson dress style----the white jacket, the white pants, and the T-shirt did not look as good on Colin Farrell as it did on Don Johnson. Even in his "Nash Bridges" days, Don Johnson was still fine! So if anyone is going thinking that they will get to look at a handsome guy, be prepared to be disappointed---unless if you look at Jamie Foxx---because he really CAN act, but don't try to compare Colin Farrell to Don Johnson too much, you will miss most of the movie doing that.....like I did=0( Watch the movie for the movie.....it was better than "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." I can guarantee that.
