Miami Vice 2006

Miami Vice is a 2006 American action crime film produced, written, and directed by Michael Mann. It is an adaptation of the 1980s television series of the same name, which Mann produced. It stars Colin Farrell as James "Sonny" Crockett and Jamie Foxx as Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, MDSO detectives who go undercover to fight drug trafficking operations. The cast also features Gong Li, Naomie Harris, Justin Theroux, Ciarán Hinds, and Barry Shabaka Henley. Foxx brought up the idea of a Miami Vice film to Mann during a party for Ali. This led Mann to revisit the series. Like Collateral, which also starred Foxx, most of the film was shot with the Thomson Viper Filmstream Camera, while Super 35 was used for high-speed and underwater shots. Miami Vice premiered in Los Angeles on July 20, 2006. It was released in North America on July 28, 2006, by Universal Pictures. It grossed $164.2 million worldwide on a reported $135–150 million budget. The film received polarized reviews, with praise for Mann's directing and visual style but criticism for the serious storyline.
