New Michael Mann film coming. Awesome. I love Michael Mann films, and I know a few of you guys do too. Except, Miami Vice is ripe for failure. Here's why:
- Colin Farrell. Has never been in a good movie. Seriously, look it up. Not one.
- The original. Stupid pseudo-slick Miami trash in pastel suits. I will not get the Don Johnson image out of my head for the length of the movie.
- there's no one else bu Farrell and Jamie Foxx in the movie who I've even heard of.
- The best song they could get for the commercial? That Jay-Z/Linkin Park fiasco. A shit song from forever ago: not a good sign.
That being said, it's still Michael Mann. He made Collateral a good flick in spite of Tom Cruise, and everything else he touches turns to awesome. So I'm holding out hope.
But Ricardo Tubbs ain't exactly Ray Charles...
