MIAMI VICE

Part of Staff Picks and programmed by Conner, who says: “Michael Mann’s film adaptation of the ‘80s series he produced is a vibrant, soulful and galvanizing update into a rapidly growing and high-tech century. Unfairly maligned at the time of release, MIAMI VICE has gained a renewed following 20 years later and is one of the pinnacles in digital cinematography, opening up a new vision of the world in a surreal stream of sun-tanned and mojito fueled consciousness. I absolutely love getting lost in its spell.”

“MIAMI VICE is a movie made by a man whose mastery of the medium, and whose obsessive concerns for detail, put images of uncommon distinction on the big screen.” —Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal



“[Mann] revels in orchestrating confrontations between good and evil, unleashing the firepower with a merciless ferocity that Sam Peckinpah would admire.” —Michael Dwyer, Irish Times



“The woozy, disorienting, fever-dream ambiance that's a Mann trademark is as much a character as the cops and robbers, all of them playing with shifting identities and uncertain loyalties.” —Gary Susman, Boston Phoenix
