When writer/director Michael Mann adapted his hit series into a feature length film, he ditched the flashy 80's aesthetic for a dark, gritty and hyper-realistic vision of global drug trafficking that audiences simply weren’t ready for. In Part 2, Brian Johnson and Nick Malone join Dennis to argue why the 2006 film is a tragically overlooked and criminally misunderstood masterwork, twenty years ahead of its time. Put expectations aside: if “Miami Vice” had any other title, it would be celebrated as one of the great cinematic achievements of this century.
