Took the day off work big case of CBF's with it anymore.
I should have gone to work, This movie for all that it promised SUCKED ****!!!!!... Started with promise with some nice fight and car work, then sort of drifted off onto another planet, I thought maybe building the plot or the story line, NOPE I was wrong, then finishes with a blaze of automatic gun fire...***** it was meant to be Miami Vice, Not really much action, NO car chases, a couple of bull**** love scenes ( The movie ends up being more about, Being in Love and not being able to be together for the main characters, I mean WTF is with that bull *****, biggest waste of time I have spent in a movie in a long time!!!), there is a couple of VERY Graphic scenes but If you get to see it i wont spoil them. Out of 10 I would probably at best say 3-4, I spoke to James (a mate) coming out and he was like so similar to Bad Boys, I said to him Bad Boys was probably 10 times Better. Cheers

Yeah what was the deal with Colin Farrell starring in it. Totally unsuitable to the role.

 Those 4 stars (asterisks) were more than likely a swear word. Anyway, I wasn't going to see this, sounds like I made a good decision.

I actually really enjoyed it...Finally a shooting scene where the guns actually sound like guns!! Very well shot! If you've seen any of the old Miami Vice episodes, its actually a fair bit like it.
I thought Jamie Fox and Colin Farrell did a great job and the Sound track rocked. I went in with no expectations and i'm glad i did because it was never meant to be compared to Bad Boys...

The biggest waste of 1.5hours of my life. Give me back my $20 (went silverscreen). I felt like throwing my popcorn at the screen. The start is very promising but the dies in the rrrrs. WTF is the camera style about, in sure peeps will get motion sickness after watching it.
Character development was below average. Jamie fox was ok but colin was not suited for the role but he did wear the killer suit. Give me Don johnson anyday. I give it 3 stars outta 10. 1 for the asian chick, 1 for the Ferrari 430, 1 for the guns sounding like guns (all hail the cinema subwoofers)

Great shooting battle scene, very realistic.
All the firearms were fitted with 1000++ round magazines. No one was affected by muzzle blast even when firing in a confined space. Very few actually aimed using sights. None of the barrels got hot even after many long bursts of automatic fire. No one screamed when they were wounded. No one bled when they were hit. Head shots from a 7.62 just caused a small hole. None of the firearms recoiled. Car doors stopped 5.56 & 7.62 rounds. Yep very realistic......... I want my 1.5 hours back. |

I liked 3 things, The Offshore boats, The Charger SRT-8 at the end and the chick that plugged the redneck in the head that was pretty funny but all in all it was very average.

Things I enjoyed:
Bling Chrysler Bling BMW 6 Series Bling Ferrari (even though it was stock) Offshore boats Learjet Guns Things I didn't like No tits They didn't flog the Ferrari (fags) They didn't flog anything apart from the boats and that's not hard... I was expecting almost a movie version of Grand Theft Auto - Vice City. But even the computer game is more fun than the movie. Overall... 5 out of 10.
