Miami Vice

If you're looking for pastel T-shirts under sportcoats, or loafers without socks, you're stuck in the '80s. This is Miami Vice for the new millennium—for 2006, to be precise. But don't fret, Tubbs (Foxx) and Crockett (Farrell) are still detectives, still in Florida (hence the title), and they're still kicking butt and taking names...and struggling to keep on the right side of the law. Based on the television series created by Anthony Yerkovich. Special features on the DVD version include commentary with Writer/Director Michael Mann, 13 minutes comparing undercover police work from the film to that in real life, a 10-minute look at shooting in Miami, 13 minutes of Mann's artistic vision, a three-part behind-the-scenes featurette, and an up-front ad for HD DVD. Special features on the hi-def side of the HD DVD include U-Control with picture-in-picture, production photographs, tech specs, cast bios, and GPS; and the same commentary as on the DVD. On the standard-definition side, you will find the same features as, um, on the standard-definition DVD.JK
