NO RULES. NO ORDER. NO LAW.
Miami police detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs (Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx) go undercover for the federal authorities in order to expose a very sophisticated drug ring. Sounds familiar, huh? The story is reminiscent of old scripts for the TV series (which was executive-produced by Michael Mann), but this film is much darker and more brutal. Itās all about style, and a lesser director could never hold oneās attention the way Mann does with so little substance to offer… but eventually the whole experience wears thin. And how incompetent is Sonny Crockett here?
