Miami Vice

I couldn’t understand a lot of the dialogue. Not that I’m old or was crunching popcorn the whole time, but that too much of it was hushed and spoken in thick accents.

When I’m so disappointed by something I wanted to like, it’s actually hard for me to find the energy to write this. I’d rather forget it and move on. But, alas…

• Structure/Plot

The movie lost steam after Crocket and Tubbs blew up the speed boats of the drug-runners. After that, it was tedious to see the details of them infiltrating the cartel. That’s been done in other movies and it was a lot of time on an aspect that wasn’t the point of the story, but rather a step to the larger goal of finding the cop killers.

By the time it got exciting again when the female undercover agent was abducted, my spirit couldn’t fully re-invest.

• Logic

Despite what the Asian woman told Colin Farrel about her relationship with the boss, he should’ve suspected some care or intimacy between them and, thus, it made no sense for Colin to show his love in public (as at the nightclub/bar).

Why exactly did the bearded guy take the female agent hostage? He didn’t know she was a cop…so why did he jeopordize everything and risk his boss’s wrath?
