Both deliver nuanced performances in Miami Vice that over a running time of 135 minutes, leave you fully invested in their character arcs. If you've seen this year's Banshees of Inesherin or Foxx's Oscar-winning turn in Ray you're familiar with the range that these two actors have. Since Miami Vice's release in 2006, both of its leads, Colin Ferrell and Jamie Foxx have gone on to solidify themselves as multifaceted and dynamic performers. It is obvious with Miami Vice, in particular, that moviegoers were willing to ignore that each Michael Mann film is a piece of art unique unto itself and the backdrops are the tapestries upon which he works. These are qualities that were largely overlooked or ignored by critics and fans alike, but are a very large part of what Mann and his principal cinematographer, Dion Beebe brought to the film that other directors would have either overlooked or not fought for when negotiating a $136 million budget with Universal Pictures. Stunning panoramic views of night fallen on a resplendent downtown Miami highlight the night shoots while captivating elevated shots of contoured speedboats cutting through the crystal blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf waters accentuate the deft and crisp cinematography. One of the things that was criminally overlooked in Mann's (who also served as chief producer on the film) remake was his masterful aerial photography of the both the beautiful Miami night skylines and the naturally exotic and ocean scapes surrounding the south Florida peninsula.
