I really didn't like the Mann Miami Vice movie. Although, I did like the .50cal Sniper bit

Think the last movie just needed a different director.

I really like Michael Mann's own Miami Vice film, but pretty sure this has nothing to do with Mann or anybody related to either the original production or 2006 film. I just don't care I guess.

I remember catching a bit of Miami Vice on the Esquire Network and it's a pretty cool show. Not every little bit of it holds up, but overall it does what it does well.
