SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
The cocaine cowboys of the ’80s are gone, but Miami’s
Casablanca allure, the undercover cops and the attitudes of
Michael Mann’s culturally influential television series
have been enhanced by time in the feature film version of
Miami Vice.
Ricardo Tubbs (Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx of Ray,
Jarhead) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born
intel analyst Trudy, played by British actress Naomie Harris
(28 Days Later, upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean II and III),
as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South
Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders.
Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell of S.W.A.T., The New World)
[to the untrained eye, his presentation may seem unorthodox,
but procedurally he is sound] is charismatic and flirtatious
until—while undercover working with the supplier of
the South Florida group—he gets romantically entangled
with Isabella, the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs
trafficker. Isabella is played by the Chinese actress Gong
Li (Raise the Red Lantern, Memoirs of a Geisha).
The best undercover identity is oneself with the volume turned
up and restraint unplugged. The intensity of this case pushes
Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication
become blurred, where cop and player become one—especially
for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in
the provocation of an assault on those he loves.
Miami Vice, as a large-scale feature film, liberates what
is adult, dangerous and alluring about working deeply undercover…especially
when Crockett and Tubbs go to where their badges don’t
count…
