#i'm convinced Jamie Foxx would make an excellent Tubbs

i was just reminded of the existence of the miami vice movie, which i'm pretty certain michael mann pitched as "just like the tv series, except with everything good surgically removed."

it features an appallingly miscast Colin Farrell as Sonny Crockett.

the cinematography is occasionally nice

if you want to see exactly the same story only with characters you'll actually care about, the movie replicates the plot of 1.16 "Smuggler's Blues."

sometimes a bigger budget... is worse.
