Miami Vice

Dozed off here and there during the 80% talk and 20% action movie, never really watch the tv series version of Miami Vice. But it was within my expectation on how the movie will go, maybe just that it was a late night show, the middle portion was just abit dry. Gong Li's role as Isabella, a chinese cubain business woman was one of the highlight of the movie, but can see that she is aging.

Some Fed agents got killed because of leak information in an undercovered mission. Then an informant's family got killed. So Crockett, played by Colin Farrell and Tubbs, played by Jamie Foxx went undercover deep into Montoya's ring of drug trafficking. Then Crockett romance Isabella, though NC 16, some scenes got cut, and one got cut abruptly.

The movie seems dark to me, maybe of the slow motion and dialogue heavy elements. Anyway, a happy ending, but Montoya got away, most probably because of Miami Vice 2.

Moment of the movie
The kidnapper who was holding to a switch that will detonate a bomb around Trudy's neck told Tubbs and gang, he will press the button if they shoot.

But Gina told him, her "Pow Wow Whatever Gun" will be travelling at a speed so fast that it will shoot through his head that his brain will have no chance to tell his hand to press the button.

And Indeed, he didn't have a chance to reply and "Boom" ... Down he went.

6/10 for MV
