August 1st 2006 05:45
Miami Vice was a popular television series (five seasons on NBC from 1984-1989) with James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs as two Miami police detectives working undercover.
The 2006 film of the same name stars Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell as Tubbs and Crockett. Director Michael Mann set out to craft entirely new characters and story, however there are still very subtle references to the television show in the movie. It was shot on location in the Caribbean and South Florida, and lost seven days of filming to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.
The plot sees Tubbs and Crocket working undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders. Then the situation gets unexpectedly intense when Tubbs becomes romantically involved with a wife of an arms and drugs trafficker.
