Summary: Boring
Comment: I was extremely disappointed in this Blu-Ray disk. Movie was very grainy and quite frankly I saw no improvement over the DVD version. As for the movie, I adore Gong Li, and I wanted so much to like this movie, but it was terrible. The movie was too long, filled with wooden acting and a very predictable plot. Boring.

Summary: So much more than your average flick...
Comment: No one makes a movie like Michael Mann. He's not a director who just gives you empty good guys and bad guys and likes to blow stuff up. Every character has a dimension that comes off screen. And while the characters come off screen, the master cinematography brings the audience on screen. There aren't too many directors who can orchestrate a crime thriller with such poetic justice.
On the outside, the movie is about a team of undercover detectives trying to bring down one of the largest drug cartels in the world. The problems start when Rico, played by Colin Farrell, allows his false identity to compromise the mission.
I really wouldn't want to give away any more of the story than that but believe me, there's an all-star cast of actors in this movie, they may not all be actors that you're familiar with but they're better than a lot of the ones you are. Forget the campy 80's crap you might have watched in that worst decade ever. Its rare that a film compliments audiences with such in your face thought provoking subject matter. Well Done.

Summary: Not worth a Friday Night
Comment: The original series was the only must see Friday Night show worth staying home for. The series was captivating and inspiring in many ways. The music and fashion were as much a part of the show as the plot was. Sadly the movie does not live up to this. I felt the movie storyline stayed true to the original characters and the plot would have made for a solid episode, but there was nothing special about the movie. The movie gets by on its name and the longing of the watcher to go back to and relive the 80's. This movie is worth a Sunday afternoon not a Friday night.
