   Decent. Apparently what most people consider Vice's biggest selling-point is what I consider its biggest flaw. The scenes change rather rapidly, and little is revealed through dialogue (with the exception of a few key moments). It's basically Heat with Sonny and Rico, except that this formula worked for Heat and makes Vice seem a little awkward. As if the premise of the movie wasn't already far-fetched (vice cops who live on the beach, wear designer clothes and drive expensive sports cars), the ending is pure fantasy (not to mention pure idiocy). It is also quite lengthy at 2 hrs 20 min; proper editing could have easily eliminated about 10-15 minutes. It is worth renting if you like movies about undercover police work and if nothing else catches your eye. I really can't recommend owning it.… Expand

   Other than the names and setting, the movie incarnation of Miami Vice seems to have very little in common with the show that inspired it, which I imagine will disappoint anyone who checked it out hoping for some retro reminiscing. The acting was extremely stiff, the plot was uninteresting and extremely cliched, and the setting was far too modern. While there was a couple decent action scenes and some may like the "romances" - but you'd be better off watching some re-runs of the original series or better made action movies.… Expand
