Miami Vice

MIAMI VICE (2006) - July 28, 2006
Well, that was a bit of a let-down. A surprisingly dull movie about... I don't know, drug busts? It wasn't really about anything, nor were there any characters worth caring about. The performances were all fine, with the exception of the usually excellent Gong Li, whose accent made Jackie Chan look like Michael Caine, and who gave a surprisingly wooden performance. The problem with this movie was that it was too long, but even worse, it just wasn't all that interesting. The best part of this movie was the trailers. I don't think I've ever seen that many good trailers before one movie (Black Dahlia, Children of Men, the Departed, and Borat). **
