I liked the television series. I liked the way those cops, Detective James ‘Sonny’ Crockett and Detective Ricardo ‘Rico’ Tubbs, played by Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas were so cool and the style of dressing was so different.
So different in fact that their way of dressing took off as millions of people copied their styles. Some people didn’t like the look but to me it was so ‘Miami’ at the time.
The series was also very interesting in that each week they dealt with topics that were so much a part of what was going on then and even now.
Yep, I had major crushes on both those guys. Especially Tubbs, those eyes….there I go with the eyes again! LOL!
I haven’t forgotten the other characters too, I loved the character played by Olivia Brown, Detective Trudy Joplin, she was such a feisty character. The ornery Lieutenant was played by Edward James Olmos, another actor whose work I love even to this day.
Now the movie characters are played by Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. I’ve heard that the movie is doing well. I haven’t seen it yet and although I like both actors and would like to see it, I don’t plan on going to the movies to watch it. I’ll wait for the DVD. Simply because the next time I go to the movies, I already promised my son to see what he wants to watch and I know it won’t be Miami Vice! LOL!
If you’ve already seen the movies don’t give a way anything when you comment, just say if you liked it or not. I know there’s nothing deep about it, hey, that’s not the type of show it was!hehee I know the plot and that basically tells you the show but I like seeing for myself so I can relive the excitement of the series through the movie.
