In the classic John Candy/Steve Martin flick "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", John Candy's character says "Love isn't a big enough word" to describe how he feels about his late wife.
Well "SUCK" ain't a big enough word to describe this gawdawful bomb from hell.

I originally saw this in the theatre, after seeing Collateral and being told how this was similar to HEAT. I was pumped up to see in. After the movie, I was very disappointed, I felt like i just sat through a two plus hour television show. Expecting to see shoo-outs like HEAT, i was let down. Now 2 years later, I just finished watching it with family members who never seen it, and were expecting Don Johnson in pastels. We were both surprised. It was much better than I remembered and much better than they were expecting.
No happy ending, no hero saves the day feeling. Though HEAT nor COLLATERAL didn't have this either. I think what i realised the second viewing, is that this it true gritty detective work. No flashy fashion, nice cars, but it is Miami.
Importantly, there is no Heroes Journey, no real character arc. From the beginning, Sonny and Ricardo know who they are, who their partnera are. and at the end of the day, they still standing by each others side, regardless of what happens. They are still partners friends, family that rely on each other.
Not the best movie, but much better than i remember of it.

I was extremely disappointed in this Blu-Ray disk. Movie was very grainy and quite frankly I saw no improvement over the DVD version. As for the movie, I adore Gong Li, and I wanted so much to like this movie, but it was terrible. The movie was too long, filled with wooden acting and a very predictable plot. Boring.

No one makes a movie like Michael Mann. He's not a director who just gives you empty good guys and bad guys and likes to blow stuff up. Every character has a dimension that comes off screen. And while the characters come off screen, the master cinematography brings the audience on screen. There aren't too many directors who can orchestrate a crime thriller with such poetic justice.
On the outside, the movie is about a team of undercover detectives trying to bring down one of the largest drug cartels in the world. The problems start when Rico, played by Colin Farrell, allows his false identity to compromise the mission.
I really wouldn't want to give away any more of the story than that but believe me, there's an all-star cast of actors in this movie, they may not all be actors that you're familiar with but they're better than a lot of the ones you are. Forget the campy 80's crap you might have watched in that worst decade ever. Its rare that a film compliments audiences with such in your face thought provoking subject matter. Well Done.

I thought that Michael Mann updated his classic show just right in this movie and the Blu ray quality is EXCELLENT for PQ & SQ. Must buy!!!
