I own and love Heat but...The Insider put me to sleep, The Last Of The Mohicans was a center-less attempt at an epic and Collateral set a new record for lack of realism.
Then came Miami Vice. Someone actually recommended this movie to me -- you can't make stuff like that up.
Details: (1) worst dialog ever because of (2) most clichéd/nothing story ever, (3) filmed in the worst way ever (i.e. zero imagination, and best described as amateurish). Apparently Michael Mann likes predictable (read "idiotic") shots -- see his bio page for mind-numbingly stupid scenes he likes to regularly include in his movies.
While I was watching this non-action movie I figured out what the real story was: "Director has prime property in Florida that he would rather not pay for. He films an ultra lame movie that uses said property and brings in millions to pay his taxes and interest." Then I read Mann's bio page and it actually mentioned he owns property in Florida.
So I hereby nominate Michael Mann as _the_ worst director in Hollywood, and Miami Vice the crown of AOL cds he deserves to wear.
If you want action, go to a theater and see Wanted. If you understand dialog spoken in English (or French or German or Italian or pretty much any language on Earth that this movie might be translated into), avoid this film or your brain will melt. But if you like static shots filmed by 16 year olds on too many meds, this could be your ticket to paradise -- enjoy! 0.001 stars (out of 4).
