Review of Miami Vice (2006) by A.blankenship — 01 Aug 2006

Michael Mann does well with mysterious characters in simple plots, so there is a lot left to mull over after the credits roll in Miami Vice. As usual for Mann, the visual complexity of the film matches and enhances that of the story--the story of those choices people must make while clamped in the vice of a dark, uncertain world.

I found myself very involved with the characters, whether in disgust and terror or admiration and sympathy, and I really, really enjoyed this film.
