Review of Miami Vice (2006) by Thomas — 28 Jul 2006

Wow, I can't believe the metascore for this is 64... I usually disagree when critics go the *other* way, which is more common. It just dragged on and on from the first min. to the last. They can't possibly expect people to sit through this for over two hrs.

I enjoyed watching the series as a kid, but this was nothing like the show. The plot was completely convoluted, the dialog was impossible to understand, esp. Farrell & Li (I just gave up on all their scenes together), and the shootout camerawork made me want to puke.

I wish directors would stop trying to be 'edgy' by filming vomit-inducing scenes. The violence was way too over the top, w/ blood spurts on the lens and ppl's gray matter flying all over the place.

I guess this is what studios think ppl want to see near the end of summer. I should've just watched POTC:DMC again, instead of wasting a ticket on this junk.
