NO RULES. NO ORDER. NO LAW.

Miami police detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs (Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx) go undercover for the federal authorities in order to expose a very sophisticated drug ring.

Sounds familiar, huh? Reminiscent of old storylines in the 1984-1989 TV series (which was executive-produced by Michael Mann), this screen adaptation is ultimately much darker and more brutal.

It’s all about style, and a lesser director could never hold one’s attention the way Mann does with so little to offer… but eventually the whole experience wears thin. And how incompetent is Sonny Crockett?
