Qn: Where do you find FBI agents with nice facial hair, powerful cars and kick-ass attitude? Ans: Only in the movies!
Hmmm. What do we have here? Yes? Did i hear someone say another oddball detective pairing? Well, not really. They are quite similar here. No Starsky & Hutch and no Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker. Cooler-than-cool is their middle name and they like to work and live on the edge. Welcome to the world of Det. James 'Sonny' Crockett & Det. Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs. Welcome to Miami, and remember to rev up your ferraris.
The plot is actually quite long and a bit confusing if you don't pay attention. Basically, the 2 detectives, Sonny (Colin Farrell) and Rico (Jamie Foxx), are FBI agents. To bust a influential and big druglord, they must go undercover. We all know that going undercover is tough. Just ask Tony Leung. But hey these guys go undercover like its their part time job, slithering inside the organisation with ease. One particular interview scene even sees them turn the tables on the druglord. When they were being suspected, the 2 cooler-than-cool detectives pointed their fingers at the boss and asking whether was he working for the FBI! Their so confident that i burst out laughing (not in a bad sense). They are just too good to be true, isn't it?
And along the way, Sonny picks up Isabella (Gong Li). I need to confess. At first, I wanted to have this particular headline for this entry: Gong Li put a gong tao (hex) on me. However after watching I think I will stick to my boring line as above. Gong Li looked tired and kind of old in the show but nevertheless, she still have the curves. Just look at the sexy salsa dance she had with Sonny. (That son of a bitch haha just jealous)
The rest of the story is up to your imagination. You no need to be a rocket scientist to comprehend how the story is going to end. Bad editing and sound marred the movie. Maybe its MDA? Finally I got something to say about the Numb/Encore song that Miami Vice is using. This is to Chester Bennington and Jay Z respectively: Yes I feel numb and no I don't want an encore.
PS: To quote what Miss Scatterbrain said:" I think I have a good tolerance for bad movies." Kinda sums it all.
