I would sooner put my head in a vice than watch this again. I realise that Michael Mann, having worked on the original Miami Vice, was trying to get the feel of an 80s TV series – this is a bad idea. Better to modernise it and go for authenticity rather than grasp at nostalgia. A bit more Scarface and a bit less Starsky and Hutch would have been nice.

The quality of movies in the cinema at the moment is shocking, but at least we can look forward to… er… Nacho Libre, and *cough* Snakes on a Plane.
