An absolute cinematic disaster.

The story of the Miami Police Department's vice squad and its efforts to end drug trafficking and prostitution, centered on the unlikely partnership of Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs - who first meet when Tubbs is undercover in a drug cartel.

Watched Miami Vice so you don't have to. You're welcome.

If whispered monologues were currency, Miami Vice would settle the national debt.

Miami Vice confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

Miami Vice is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

Hot Take: Miami Vice's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Just got out of Miami Vice and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Miami Vice actually is?

Director clearly thought Miami Vice was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in Miami Vice is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Everyone praising the Miami Vice performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Miami Vice?

Look, I wanted to love Miami Vice. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
