back in high school, miami vice was about the hottest show going around. I even did the suit and tshirt thing. embarassing as that may seem, its not quite as bad as the jacket and bike shorts look or the MC Hammer bolero jacket and parachute pants look. but my crimes against fashion are another story.
anyway i decided to check out the remake movie of Miami Vice on dvd and I gotta say... WHAT A LOAD OF STEAMING EXCREMENT! I've realised now that I only liked the old series for the ultra cool toys. what this movie needed was a bit more blatant product placement, enough Ferraris, Learjets and speedboats oh yeah and explosions can cover up a lack of plot and bad acting. then there were the chase scenes *yawn* and the hot women were totally missing. instead they cast Gong Li (who is usually a great actress) as a Latino drug queen??? WTF!!! Apart from the obvious, her Latino impersonation was as good as David Carradine's or Peter Ustinov's chinese, and don't get me started on that.
At least they gave up on the neo-nazi white supremist subplot early on in the movie. Imagine sending a black vice cop to infiltrate a neo-nazi group.

Gong Li is hot baby. She can come to Cuba anytime.
coppa: yeah she's beautiful and a very talented actress, but this role was beyond her, she just can't do a sassy cuban. she couldn't get the attitude right and comes across as stiff.
you really from Cuba?
