Miami Vice movie

Comes out 7.28.06

Simply put, Michael Mann is the man. I'm a little skeptical about the casting of Farrell and Foxx, but Mann must know what he's doing. The plot sounds intriguing, and I imagine the movie has a relationship to the city of Miami similar to Collateral's with Los Angeles. Mann painstakingly researches his movies and projects to make them as real and believable as possible, from the vocabularly of cops and criminals to the way they handle their weapons. I don't know if Miami Vice will work, but it will look and feel great.

There's a good chance this blog will turn into an ode to Michael Mann at some point, but I'll resist the urge as long as possible.
