Naif here. This is one of my many movie reviews. Just yesterday, all of us (me, chee keat, farouq and syakirin) decided to go pyramid and catch a movie (yes despite SPM being just around the corner). The original plan was to catch a 5 oclock movie so that we can straight buka puasa afterwards. But chee keat came late and we were forced to the only 6 oclock movie that was available: Miami Vice. A funny thing that I should note here was that, we had to buy 3 tin can drinks from Giant to buka puasa indside the cinema!
The story is quite simple. Two miami cops go undercover to stop a major drug deal operation run by cuban/columbian druglords. The catch is these villains have all kinds of high tech weaponry and informers everywhere. But need not worry because Det.James"sonny" Crockett (collin farrell) and Ricardo "rico" Tubbs (jamie foxx) are 2 slick cops determine to get the job done. The kingpin's bitch is played by Gong Li who first appeared to be uptight but ended up having sex with Collin Farrel in the house, in the shower and even in the car! Yes even in the car...
I must say this one of the best cops and baddies movie I've ever seen. I cant believe I'm saying this but collin farrel actually looks cool in this movie and he kicks ass! In fact all the cops in this movie kicks ass. His acting for the first time is suprisingly beliveable. Jamie foxx is being well jamie foxx....Gong Li looks so hot in this movie that I've decided to buy the dvd and watch all the deleted scenes! Cheekeat is going to be so jealous. This movie is directed by Michael Mann who produced the original vice city series. I was dissapointed by his last movie "collateral" but this one makes up for it.
In this movie you get to see the mindset of druglords in more detail. Superp coreogoraphy and the scenes are wonderfuly shot. The places they shoot the movie is just amazing and it fits well into the whole miami-cuba theme. If youre expecting just another cops and villains movie think again. All around its a damn good movie mainly for guys. I know I enjoyed it. A 5/5.
Next up: the indonesian movie Hearts! chiow.
