Village Voice
Mann has done something transformative with Farrell: The Irish actor has never had this much charisma and natural authority in a role, and as he navigates that gray area between Crockett's real identity and his fabricated one, revealing subtle fissures in the character's cocksure facade, he's fascinating to watch. - 83
The A.V. Club
While it never approaches the richness and gravity of a great Mann film like "Heat," Miami Vice blurs the thin blue line to similar effect, and he features a couple of bravura setpieces, including a tense raid on an enemy hideout and a shootout with chaotic, you-are-there immediacy. If only all summer movies were this majestically slight. - 80

It's a sensational trip -- gorgeous, gaga. - 75
ReelViews
The two best words to describe the 2006 motion picture Miami Vice are "stylish" and "intense." - 75
Entertainment Weekly
As entertaining as some of it is, is so cool that it's almost too cool. It takes the sin, and much of the juice, out of vice. - 70
Variety
Unlike most TV-to-movie transitions, Mann returns to his roots and delivers what amounts to a slightly overblown episode, brimming with style and characteristically short on substance. - 60
The New Yorker
It's about guns and sex and fast boats, and, baffling as it is at times, it's still the kind of brutal fantasy that many of us relish a great deal more than yet another aerated digital dream. - 60
Time
Dark, detailed and only really gets going when the gunplay starts.
