In the mid-’80s, the television series Miami Vice, with a brilliant pilot screenplay written by the show’s creator Anthony Yerkovich, arrived and created a tectonic revolution in television. Drawing its creative inspiration from Mann’s work, Miami Vice became one of the most groundbreaking series in television history, pioneering a new way in which televised dramas were conceived and staged. As Film Comment critic Richard T. Jameson remarked at the time, “It’s hard to forbear saying, every five minutes or so, ‘I can’t believe this was shot for television!’”

Now, the filmmaker comes back to his “new Casablanca,” Miami, where thirdworld drug running intersects with the billion-dollar corporate-industrial complex -- for the first postmillennial examination of what globalized crime looks and feels like -- with a big-screen contemporization of Miami Vice, one unrestricted by the limitations of television. The roles he helped to create of Miami vice cops “Sonny” Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs are inhabited by COLIN FARRELL and Academy Award winner JAMIE FOXX, who both underwent extensive training and simulations by undercover officers from the DEA, FBI, ATF, Miami-Dade Police Department (including S.W.A.T.) and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) -- people who themselves tread the dangerous world of international trafficking.
