I've been a fan of Michael Mann for some time now, because of obvious reasons (Heat and Collateral, namely). This is a new reason. It is very, very tightly told, I have never seen better pacing in a movie. You don't get long soliloquies or dialogues, you just get the characters as they are, and through the movie you see why they are who they are.
I have rarely seen as intense a performance as that given by Farrell in this movie. Foxx shines brightly as well, but IMO Farrell gives one of his best performances here.
The mise en scène is faultless. The camera-work, choice of camera and film itself, everything is amazing. The soundtrack and use of it could not have been better, in any way I can think of.
Go and see Miami Vice.
