MIAMI VICE (2006) - THE BEST MOVIE YOU NEVER SAW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Welcome back to another edition of The Best Movie You Never Saw. This week, we are taking a look at a more recent film, 2006’s MIAMI VICE. For those of you who know anything about me, you know my love for Michael Mann’s classic 1980s television series runs deep. The saga of Crockett and Tubbs is an instantly recognizable archive of a decade of excess, fluorescent clothing, rolled up sport coats, and amazing hair. Running for five seasons on NBC, MIAMI VICE drew heavily on New Wave culture and has remained a syndication stalwart for thirty years. Having influenced everything from video games like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to the storytelling format of police procedurals like Law & Order, Miami Vice returned to the mainstream in the early 2000s with series creator Michael Mann behind the camera. Only, this big screen MIAMI VICE is virtually nothing like the television series it was based on - or so it would seem.
Since the lackluster box office of $63.5 million domestically (plus another $100 million internationally) and divisive critical reception, Miami Vice faded pretty quickly but the stories of the troublesome production have abounded. But how is the film itself, fifteen years after the fact? Join us as we examine this much maligned but awesome Michael Mann, Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx classic.

#MiamiVice #MichaelMann #TheBestMovieYouNeverSaw - Розваги
Saw this in the cinema, bought the DVD, now own it downloaded. Always felt it was CRIMINALLY underrated. Glad others feel the same
exactly same with me but i did not buy the dvd now i own it downloaded totally agreed about criminally underrated
No other filmmaker can make a cityscape look so gorgeous than Michael Mann.
It's not a good movie tho.
@@Daniel-nn8mr disagree
@@Daniel-nn8mr It's not as good as Collateral but it does the trick for me!!
@@randywhite3947 it's utter trash with bland characters but amazing actors stuck in this dog shit movie.
@@CastilloinaSpeedo agreed!! I Love Collateral, Tom Cruise’s best performance IMO, hands down!!
Once again, Michael Mann has a director’s cut that just fills out a few details without much added run time. Why any studio would edit him down is beyond me.
Shouldn’t have touched the cold open though, that was just fantastic!
I prefer theatrical cut
For all it filled some gaps it didn't feel edited and finished as well
I prefer the theatrical cut anyway. the opening boat scene in DC feels very random (like something you would see in the middle of the movie). starting the film right down into the nightclub was so cool and it sets the tone right
Gotta love how in a time when everyone was making parodies of old shows Mann took it seriously and Adapted the Themes and presentation of the show for the '00s!
I'm just surprised that it's so old... Life goes quick
I never get tired of watching the Miami Vice movie. I saw it a few times before I ever saw any of the TV shows. Michael Mann always has the best soundtracks in his films.
You are one boring person if you like this movie.
@@Daniel-nn8mr why? Lol
@@TheDRODOR cause it's so shit and completely forgets what made the TV show amazing.
@@Daniel-nn8mr if it tried to immitate it people would complain anyway lol
@@TheDRODOR not necessarily at least be faithful to the original source material.
Easily one of my favourite films ever. I am consistently so bitter that it doesn't get more recognition/praise for the unbelievable mood piece that it is. Farrell and Fox actually work so well together it is joyous, I also fully believe this to be one of Farrell's best showings.
Same. People that complain about "plot holes" or "inconsistencies" are probably the type that want everything laid out and explained to them. If you pay attention, you can follow the film flawlessly. I saw this film for the first time when it came out (I was 10 at the time) and it has become one of my favorite "vibe movies" of all time. Hopefully once its 20th anniversary comes around, people will finally look back on it and realize what an underappreciated gem it truly is.
I think Farrell's best role is in Phone Booth and Pride of Glory.
Mad props for the recognition that this was based on the plot of “Smugglers Blues”! As a Miami Vice aficionado, one notices that there were no fewer than 6 lines of dialogue taken from that episode.
The dialogue in the scene where gina shoots the aryan brotherhood guy is lifted more or less line for line from the episode 'Glades'.
probably one of the best eps of the OG show.
funny always thought this movie took inspiration from Prodigal son
@@thegladve i thought it was based on the Brother's Keeper the plot episode
@@v-trigger6137 It's based on Prodigal son, one of my favorites from the original run.
Couldn’t agree more - I think this is the concept Mann had in his mind originally
I loved the fact they didn't try to re-create the asthetic of the 80's series....it was a product of it's time, and nobody would have taken the movie seriously. Don't get me wrong, the stories from the original series still hold up today, but the look wouldn't translate. Glad to see this movie getting the recognition it deserves. Anytime someone asks who the most underrated movies are, I always include this one.
gotta applaud Mann for choosing to not copy paste the style of the 80s series and trying to experiment with the visual style. him choosing to go with the digital video aesthetic was the best thing he could've do, and it paid off perfectly
At 60 years old, will always be one of my favorite movies. Absolutely love the action, the photography, and of course the music. Timeless in my opinion.
Michael Mann's endings always hit hard emotionally.
@@markpommett5712So true. The ending was epic. Never gets old.
When ever this dude says "Thank you for watching Joblo videos" 2mins in, I always almost click off. It sounds like what is meant to be an outtro. Although i really get confused and check the timeline. After an emotional rollercoaster I realize the video is not over and continue watching. This happens at least 3 times a week.
It's rather jarring I agree. I always double take too lol
Thought I was the only one 😂
Deal with it you flowers
This literally just happened to me
While the film is nowhere near the original tv series. I do respect it for being its own thing. During an age of TV show parodies it was nice seeing the Miami Vice film taken seriously. I love the unrated version. An underrated Michael Mann film.
There's an unrated version of the MV film? I have to get that.
an iconic TV show shot on film had an adapatation on theatre shot with a digital camera... it's like the world upside down
Heat, Collateral and Miami Vice are great companion films. Michael Mann is a genius.
The DC makes this movie immediately so much better. The movie itself did grew on me over time and now it's one of my 2000s favorites
DC?
@@thedarkknightman6150 the directors cut, really do recommend watching if u haven't seen it
Love this movie. First watch, it didn't grab me though. Second watch about 8 years later, wow! Cue third and fourth in quick succession, then the series. Michael Mann is responsible for 3 of my favourite movies, class director.
It was so boring we walked out of the theater during the highway scene the guy walks in front of a truck. I watched it again and it's still boring but it's unique and has a certain charm to it. Its wierd, I acknowledge its a good movie but I can't bring myself to watch the whole thing at once.
@@steverico3090 You walked out during the second scene of the movie Hahahahahaha genius!
@@JudgeDredd_ shit was boring
@@steverico3090 If you’ve never delved into anything to do with this life, I can definitely see that. I tell people who don’t like movies like this then you’re in good hands and would definitely prefer Toy Story or fantasy like Lord Of The Rings.
@Judge Dredd you don't have to be part of that life to enjoy the movie, sure it might make you appreciate it more but saying "yeah you're nothing like the people in the movie so that's why you didn't enjoy it" is stupid. If someone didn't enjoy Lotr is it because they aren't a elf?
You nailed it! Growing up in Miami I loved the TV show. To me it was action with an MTV vibe! There was nothing like it back then. The topics went over my 11 year old brain and that was ok. In my 20s I revisited the series and fell in love all over again. People forget how dark the TV show was. With that said, The movie was just as good. Mann captured the dark and moody side of Miami perfectly. In some scenes you see crazy grey skies we get down here during hurricane season. It's not just all blue skies, all the time.
As I've said to many brain dead people here, you must be so boring to like this movie.
I live in South Florida and have also noticed the building clouds in the West, letting you know the afternoon thunderstorms are coming.
@@lindacollins903I was amazed being form Philly, how storms would be crazy in Fl. 30min later is would be sunny
@@AmazingJayB51 I sold my house and moved out of Florida almost a year ago and now live in a suburb of Philly. I couldn't take the summers getting hotter and lasting longer every year, not to mention worrying about hurricanes for 6 months every year. Based on the weather here this week, I guess I brought some of the heat and humidity with me 🔥
I'm glad this version of Miami Vice is the way it is. The casting and the ambience is perfect.
The "feel" of the movie is awesome, the graininess of it adds so much. The night shots looked so awesome, every time I see it I want to hop in my car and go for a midnight ride. The music is great, feels old school, but updated. I love it.
I like what you said about Mann being Michael Bay by way of Terrence Malick. And there are fans of Blackhat (myself included), in fact it's my favourite Mann film.
Having lived in South Florida and Miami for 16 years and during that timeframe I can tell you everything about this movie depicts Miami in the mid 2000's absolutely perfectly and nothing comes close. The clothes, cars, the way he captures the humid light polluted purple miami night sky. It is as authentic as it gets and I feel like people just overlooked it at the time and it truly is incredibly underrated for what it is.
Speaking of clothes I loved this style so much I’m getting the exact same suit Foxx wears at the beginning of the film. Funnily enough the tailor who did it is in London and I work in central London so he’s only 20 minutes away. It’s literally the guy who did all of the films suits.
@@jameslyddall wow thats pretty awesome!
You nailed it when you mentioned "thinking persons action movie". It really is. You have to follow the plot quite closely otherwise you’ll get confused very quickly. I know I did when I first saw it in the theatre. It’s a beautiful looking film, well acted, good cast, good music (should’ve been some Jan Hammer in there though) but it just needed maybe a little more humor and some tweaking of the story as the pace tends to slow down towards the end. A shame it didn’t do well as I reckon a sequel may have been on the cards (probably with a different director maybe). On the plus side, thank heavens we had this version rather than a Starsky and Hutch style reboot that was made!
Andrew,
A great review ! 👏 👍
I agree (mostly). I will also say that I feel that Michael Mann has been one of the most underrated filmmakers of the past few decades…I walked out of the theater thinking Miami NICE…and HEAT is in my opinion, one of the finest cop drama/thrillers I think I’ve ever seen…EVER!
A bit of humor to help build (the totally lacking) chemistry between the two stars would have worked wonders in my opinion.
That is a blessing!
Hated what was done to the Dukes of Hazard in the reboot. Should’ve given it to Mann then it would be worth watching
I re-watched this last night after some years. It is a huge understated film.
This movie definitely wasn’t bad, it was underwhelming at best. And it’s sad too because with Michael the Mann himself directing I was expecting a bright, neo-noire, Art Deco remastered action film. While I’m completely biased on Don Johnson being the one and only Sonny Crockett, I think Brad Pitt would’ve come close to bringing the same good ole boy, southern charm and charisma Johnson had in the early seasons of Miami Vice.
I said the same thing. Scott Speedman or Ewan McGregor would be great also.
I like you comment, but it's actually spelled 'Art Deco'. And that would've been the wrong era for it anyway. =) (Sorry, I'm just an art-history nerd.)
I live in FL. South Florida Miami is MUCH different 2005/2006 from the post Andrew 🌀 era 1990s or TV Miami 1980s. The film had flaws but a few great actors 🎭 & action scenes. I looked at applying for a Russian mob guy in Craigslist. 💻 I also dated a woman in Boca Raton who I tried to audition her for the strung out meth head in the trailer, hostage scene(Trudy).
@@charlesderosas5577 From what I know actor Vin Diesel was working on a new NBC series, Peacock 🦚 Miami Vice. Covid19, Pandemic may of slowed it but the series has some + points 🏖.
Halfway thru and I'm ready to turn it off. Yawn fest
I love this movie, it still holds up. Sound, scenery, realism, love triangles and all. This might be the perfect cop movie.
Incredibly underrated movie that ages like fine wine. Don't know why this was lambasted by the butter fingered internet critics. Very well made movie with solid plot and acting, magnificent photography and a unique ambiance.
Probably the most stylish movie I ever saw, every frame of it was just dripping with swag (if that is something that is still said anymore)
I loved this movie when it came out (I was a freshman in high school). I even got it on DVD as soon as it was released. I love the tv series too even though the film is different. The film is a great realistic take on an existential arthouse tv show which has moved me since I first saw it in it's entirety. It's almost like Michael Mann made a deeper, more stylish version of The French Connection.
How dare you compare an amazing movie like the French connection to this steaming pile of dog shit.
Watch this movie every couple years. It was peak Mann. The style, the visuals, the vibe. It was just cool. Good vid.
I remember reading on the trivia page that Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were both considered for the role of Sonny Crocket and Will Smith was considered for the role of Ricardo Tubbs
I tried to watch this movie once
It was so boring that I had to pause to take a nap
And there was absolutely no chemistry between Jamie foxx and Colin Farrell. And definitely no chemistry between Colin and his love interest.
@@Luvie1980 because there's barely any scenes with the two!
@@Ocapela215 exactly. Which makes me wonder: why call this movie Miami vice?
the film is character and story driven. as they said it's "a thinking person's action movie." classy action sequences. it has been and will continue to generate a cult following.
@Hal Jordan your opinion is duely noted. simultaneously, note what i said in the years to come
Oh, I saw it. And just thought it was okay. To people that love this film, awesome! It just has never grabbed me.
one of the most undervaluated police movie . Script , actors , direction , soundtrack so perfect , full of emotions and unforgettable scenes ,dialogues !!!!
I actually worked on this movie as a projectionist while they were in Miami. It was the greatest two weeks of my life so much fun.
One of the most underrated action crime drama films of all time and an underrated Michael Mann film. Definitely one of my favorites.
Brilliant, thank you for this.
PHENOMENAL movie.... beyond underrated... the cast was great top to bottom highlighted by Colin & Gong....the attention you detail and the intensity weeree 2nd to none.... the closing sequence emphasize by Mogwai pulled you in emotionally....I would've paid to see part 2. I think it was ahead of it's own time & lacked the pre release exposure.... truly one of my favs.
One of the best and underrated movies of 2006. 🔥1. Heat 2. Collateral 3. Miami Vice
Heat was actually 1995 , awesome movie as well
Fantastic movie and really under appreciated. Reminds me of Drive in that it was advertised as a straight up action movie when in reality it was more of a slow-burn. Michael Mann never disappoints.
Edit-that’s a lie. He disappointed with Ali lol
Thank you for the thoughtful view of a highly underated modern classic
One of my all time favourites. I'm watching it every year. Loved the TV show too, although it has its flaws. I was just a kid when it was on TV in 90's, but I watched it all as an adult to embrace this magic atmosphere again.
After seeing this review I watched it having ignored this movie due to the miami vice hype. Glad I did get to see it in the end. Worth a watch. Thank you guys. 😊
awesome - love to hear that!
This was the height of Jamie feeling himself. I really wish we could have seen Mann’s vision for the finale in Paraguay. Still, this movie is criminally underrated and really gets better with rewatching.
The audience thought Miami Vice would be like the TV series when it turned out to be more like Collateral and HEAT.
Big fan of Micheal Mann's work. Fell in love with Heat and was blown away by Collateral. Figured I would love this film. I didn't, it was missing something. I tried ot force myself to watch it by found myself wandering away from it.
Yeah, first like and comment to me! :-) I liked the movie, but I didn't much like it being "Miami Vice". It should have just been another movie. Miami Vice will always be Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas
Wow first comment! That got you nowhere in life
@@goodburger1114 I lead a simple life. Don't steal my thunder. ;-)
@@stuartgorka989 your happy cause you got a first like and comment? You must really be sad, that just sounds depressing.
@@Daniel-nn8mr right? Hate people who spam pages with LiKe or FiRsT
@@goodburger1114 me too. It's just dead and buried, and it should stay that way.
I was excited about it the moment I saw the poster. The trailer was even better. Then I finally saw the movie, and . . . was not disappointed. Not sure what everyone was expecting, but it did feel like an updated take on Miami Vice for the big screen. There were a few slow spots that could be edited or left out, but most of the movie was enjoyable.
Way to go, Jo! I've been waiting for a review like this since "Vice" came out almost 16 years ago. I'm a huge admirer of Mann, and there's no doubt he's an over-the-top prick perfectionist on the set, but you can't argue with what you get. Sure, "Manhunter" and "Last of the Mohicans" and "The Insider" are fun--and important---fllms, but "Heat" and "Miami Vice" are the jewels in His Lordship's crown. Again, thank you Jo.
Been one of my favorite films since it came to the theatres. It just oozes so much style and mood. It was the movie that made me realize critics are full of shit.. It's a beautiful peace that I have to see at least once a year.
Yeah I remember when they shooting here in DR, such a big fuss around here. The film deserved way more love than it got.
I think the reason why it didnt connect with audiences is that michael mann did'nt set out to make a fun action film like the tv show rather a dark serious thought provoking crime drama
The Hurricanes added to the ambience of the movies visual beauty with those crystal clear Camera shots
Nice summary of MV…still one of my favorite movies
Mann knocked it out of the park with "Manhunter." 10 out of 10.
I've never seen the TV show version but saw this film in theater back in the summer of 2006 and loved it. I'm not a fan of the early digital cinematography, I thought the movie looked like it's shot on consumer camcorders. I agree that the soundtrack's awesome, I think it's the last CD that I bought. I feel so old. Lol!
I found it boring in some parts but I was young then and had a different perspective. I might have to watch this one again. One thing that stuck with me though, even when it was still in posters, is the casting. However, I do find Barry Henley as Castillo drastically different from Edgar James Olmos (who is just tremendous in the show).
Imagine how old us original Miami Vice die hards feel raving about the ORIGINAL music😂
I saw it in theatres and loved it.
So many people I've talked to about this movie, said they expected the movie to be something else. They thought it was going to be 'Miami Vice' but then it turned out to be something else. There was no moral victory for the good guy and the bad guy wasn't punished at the end. (other than Yero, but he wasn't the real villain. Arcángel de Jesús Montoya was) It wasn't a clean movie for people who wanted a clean ending to tie off the story. This movie was ambiguous and vague, wasn't interested in "Justice Served" which was usually what people looked for in Cop-centric drama. The ending scene explained it the best. It was Sonny, headed into the hospital where Trudy was just waking up, with couple of nurses having smokes. It was about as non-event ending as you can ask for, and people were kind of shocked by that, with many people even reportedly having said 'that's it?' when the credit started rolling.
You're so right, everyone thinks of the bright colours and 80's cheese when they think of Miami Vice, but the subject matter was much darker and serious. Same can be said about Starsky & Hutch in the 70's. The episodes themes had a much more serious and grounded subject matter.
This was one of those movies that made me appreciate movies that aren’t what you thought they would be. I went to see it with my brother because I thought it was an action movie, and yes there is action in it but I wouldn’t consider it an action movie. I remember the trailer and that jay-z/linkin park trailer music. But i really liked watching it and I was 12 when I went to see it.
I was really impressed with this movie, don't understand why there were so many haters.
haters gonna hate
I have watched this movie so many times. I really enjoy it.
Also if they decided to make another Miami Vice movie set in the 80's with all the glitz and glame and new wave music. I would not be upset.
Great review.
I’ve always liked this movie.
Saw it day one in the theater and loved it.
Well I love this movie, watched it on the big screen and on DVD later. I know it´s a flawed movie, but it´s Michael Mann, the guy likes to take a lot of chances. The digital look was a shock back then, but it helped with the realism of the story. It´s not Mann´s best film ("Heat" is a masterpiece) but it´s really cool.
Chris Bumbray is always Spot on in his movie reviews and past picks.. I like Bumbray and Chris Stuckmann for the elite in UA-cam movie reviews..
Being a big fan of Miami Vice all I can say about the movie is at least they tried. Hopefully they'll be able to do it again but more true to the show rather than trying to make it dark and moody. RIP
You know to be honest, it’s the most accurate action movie i have ever seen when it comes to fire arms, it is also dark and gritty, I love the ambience, it really is a thinking’s man movie, Yero is one of the best villains from that decade to be honest!! Love it
For all the ground covered in this video, I can't believe he didn't give more props to John Ortiz as Yero. A fantastic villain. And if you follow the plot and dialogue carefully, Yero gets off a truly chilling line at the end, but it's easy to overlook: "Jesus gave her to me to ask questions, and find out interesting things."
I absolutely enjoyed this movie when it was released... Micheal Mann's gritty style was perfect in this... Collateral is probably one of my all-time favorite movies and for him to adopt a similar style as that really made me really like MV... Not to mention Public Enemies which released like 4 years after this. My only real complaint about MV is that it's a bit too long but as I've gotten older I've learned to appreciate him not cutting it down so much (like most of his movies) ..
It's such an awesome movie. The clothing of this movie is Miami vice style of 80s transfered to the 2000. Its awesome
It took itself WAAAAAAAAY too seriously. It wasn't that the film was dark, it was that it was SUPER bleak. Still, it's a guilty pleasure film for me. I watch this and Collateral.
How is this a guilty pleasure?
I absolute love this movie, I lived in Miami for many years , to me this is night time cinematic classic , at the time caught me off guard expecting pastels and sunny colors
I didn't care for this much when I first saw it in 2006. But now I definitely want to rewatch. I did love the show for the most part.
Great movie. I watch it every time it's on.
Maybe I need to rewatch. I saw that trailer, saw Mann was involved and was excited and I remember just being bored and think it was overstuffed. Gonna give it another shot
Great movie. Great review.
The film was very entertaining and is one of my favorites even now. What it is not, is Miami Vice as we knew it. That name created certain expectations. The whole film plays better if you watch with a open mind. Your relating the movie to Heat is spot on.
The latest streaming of this movie omitted the boat race and went straight to the club as the beginning .
I really love this Flick, i'm still waiting Sequel. The final gunshoot fight is amazing and exaciting, and also the very end with the Mogwai - Auto Rock theme, is one of My Favourite endings of all time 😎
So Jamie Foxx wanted to be flown privately but Colin Farrel had to get a pay cut and chucked into undercover drug deals ?! 😅
No movie can come close to reproduce the original miami vice 1984 🔥
I think this may be the coolest movie ever made. One of my favorites of all time!
The original Point Break, way cooler then this.
@@tenchu744 different kind of cool!
I love this movie and particularly the way it was filmed you are engaged the entire movie I wish they would take the same cast and make a part 2 i own a DVD of this movie and would own part 2 if they would do one. very well done!
Not seen it since it came out. I recall it being pretty awful.
I really love Michael Mann movies.
This is a terrific movie. Had the dvd for years and I just upgraded to the blu ray ( which is bloody excellent )
Last Of The Mohicans , Heat , Collateral, Ali . . . all great films.
I haven't seen Thief but I have it on order , hopefully arriving soon.
It's what I call the HEAT prequel.
Simply a great movie M. Mann s best 👍🏼
I love this movie and it looks a lot like HEAT which was a masterpiece and I have watched both of these movies from Michael Mann at least a dozen times each.
This movie !!!!
I love it so much !!!
„Public Enemies“ was good too. Can’t wait to see what Mann does next.
"Michael Bay by way of Terrence Malick" is probably the best description of this film.
Loved this movie from day one 👍 Saw it in the cinema, bought the DVD and the soundtrack. One of my favourite moves from my favourite director. Also have Heat on DVD 😍
This movie is sooooo badass!! Thank you for speaking about it. And the band Nonpoint is awesome, just sayin (just listen to "alive and kicking" or "to the pain"))
The script is sometimes painfull (same can be said for Heat) but the visual style is pure Mann. I actually appreciate that when he says "location" he is on location.
This movie was really good. I watched it one night while recovering from surgery and it has now become one of my favorite movies.
Honestly, has Michael Mann ever made a bad movie?
Absolutely loved this film
I love the original Miami Vice television series but I couldn't get into the movie. But perhaps now I'll revisit the movie with a different set of expectations now that I've seen this.
Mann should never have called this movie Miami Vice apart from the characters names there's nothing of the TV show and thats one of the problems, the other is it can be a solid bore fest i had a Mann film rewatch the other week Heat, Collateral and when i got to Vice i turned it off an hour into it, Previously ive made it to the end but probably after rewatching those two before i couldn't get through it and that was the directors cut.
Still have the DVD and watch it once a year… the sounds track on it was … encore!
I am dying for the 4k of this
Awesome movie. I bought it right when it was released.
