The trailer with that awful Linkin Park/Jay-Z song is awesomely cheesy. "Takin it to the limit, one more time"!

So psyched.

Farrell is so wrong. He looks like a rat. Sonny must be BLONDE!!!!! And dissipated. Hmmm. Why oh why did Don Johnson and Melanie Griffiths not HAVE A BABY??????????

There's undercover, and then there's 'which way is up.'

I can't believe how long this anticipation has been going on. Is the movie out yet? I'm out of touch.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Going undercover as offshore boat racers and outlaw smugglers Sonny Burnett and Rico Cooper, they take on the narcotrafficking network of the mysterious Archangel de Jesus Montoya-Londono and his Cuban Chinese banker Isabella.

can't wait.

also, the trailer's full of modern day music, wtf?

things get emotional, moves get messy. moves get messy and the wrong people die.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:06 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry that was meant for the watercooler thread.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:06 (seventeen years ago) link

the music is gon' be rza, though, right?

should have been tiga, maybe.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Who is the 21st-century Jan Hammer? Neither of those two I'd say.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Luomo.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah but tiga did that awesome 'i've seen too many of the wrong men die' thing innit. that should be the credits.

I would love for this not to suck, but with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx...well, the odds aren't good.

― GILLY'S BAGG'EAR VANCE OF COUPARI (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 12:26 (seventeen years ago) link

dj and pmt weren't the greatest actors...

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 12:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but they didn't have the baggage that these two have. I don't know if Colin F. is believable as anything other than an alcoholic leprechaun anymore.

― GILLY'S BAGG'EAR VANCE OF COUPARI (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 12:45 (seventeen years ago) link

that clip tracer actually feels like a michael mann movie!

i am ridiculously excited for this.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 13:47 (seventeen years ago) link

A Michael Mann moment

philip michael thomas was a TERRIBLE actor! don johnson was underrated, i think.

PMT could smolder though, couldn't he?? DAG

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

uh huh!

― jacques lu c on t (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

I fear nothing in the actual movie will be as cool as the trailer's pistol-cock montage synched to "Numb/Encore".

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

one of the village voice's new outsourced movie reviewers liked it

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm excited!

will probably see this

Rotten Tomatoes put down David Denby's review as a negative, but then reconsidered and now its a positive. I don't trust them anymore.

― The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Colin Farrell's hot factor is severly reduced when he is not speaking in an irish accent. :/

I want to punch Jamie Foxx in his long fucking face.

But Gong Li, yay!

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:56 (seventeen years ago) link

They've just released the second season on dvd, this movie is going to suck balls big time though.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 07:19 (seventeen years ago) link

GTFO

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 07:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmm.

The look: Unlike the bright candy colors of the TV series, this version is dark, violent, and — like Mann's 2004 thriller "Collateral" — digitally shot, which adds to its raw, gritty vibe. There isn't an ounce of kitsch here. Any connection to the TV show is unrecognizable, both in visual and narrative style.

The plot: Mann doesn't bother with exposition. (This is a would-be summer blockbuster, after all.) Think drug busts, guns, speedboats, planes, danger and steamy sex.

The locale: "The allure of Miami has sustained itself in my imagination," Mann says on the film's official website. "The city has a perfumed reality, where things are not exactly what they seem. It's very attractive, alluring and sensual; it's also very dangerous."

The music: Where have you gone, Jan Hammer? Setting the aural mood this time are Moby, India.Arie, Goldfrapp, Mogwai and others, yet the soundtrack proves oddly disappointing.

The fashion: Crockett sports a handlebar mustache and both men sport sexy sunglasses. Expect more chocolate browns and charcoal grays than pale linens, but the suits are still expensive.

Memorable lines: "Things get emotional, moves get messy; moves get messy, and the wrong people die." "There's undercover, and then there is which way is up."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Both of those memorable lines were in the trailer, hopefully they didn't blow the best material in the preview again..

― Juan Donson (mike h.), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

mogwai!?

Oh, I can't imagine how that could possibly be true.

once again miami disappoints the nation.

Michael Mann has the worst taste in music of any major film director evah

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:57 (seventeen years ago) link

pshaw!

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:58 (seventeen years ago) link

no, pshaw has better taste

anyone has got the season 2 dvd ? I have the season 1 and am pretty excited by this. may wait till after the holidays to get it, though.

I think we're ignoring the legacy of Max Steiner.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:04 (seventeen years ago) link

the season 2 is beautifully packaged, but annoying differently packages to series 1. will get when cheap innit.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll probably see this film, but I had second thoughts upon seeing a picture taken in 1986 of my dad and sister in Sanibel, Florida. He wore white espadrilles.

Miami was a grisly place fashion-wise.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe but the whole thing is that mann is just using the name to get ca$hmoney to make... another michael mann film. it's not going to be 80s-retro.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

if the 100 minute movie is better than this 3 minute 20 second clip of the series i'll eat all my hats. this clip has makes me want 2 go get the series one dvd RIGHT NOW..

― pisces (piscesx), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:28 (seventeen years ago) link

you should, it's quite good, if a little chokingly cheesy at times.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

the 'what's love got to do with it' ep is terrible.
