A 3 hour Miami Vice Starring Al Pacino as Don Johnson

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2002)

Similarities:
A harding working cop with personal/marital/family problems. A master thief who longs for love. Everybody including bad guys wears expensive suites. Bad guys own expensive homes and go to upscale restaurants. Rock music. Shots with theme colours, eg. blue. Stylishly architectured police station. The guy who sells explosive who appeared on half the Miami Vice.
Except Pacino is not driving a Ferrari and doesn't have a partner. Michael Mann's cop movies are rarely about reality. No life lessons to be learnt here but a great entertaining romantic crime movie. (10/10)
