Five stars indeed for cinematography.
And five stars for editing.
But what else is there?

I finally saw Mann's Miami Vice and I admire the filmmaking.
The story didn't grab me one bit.
Chris Knipp got it: it's murky, confusing, dark and solemn.
Oscar's also right in that there is realism, there is a real-life feel to it, but the viewer is so detached from what's going on you almost feel like an intruder.

Disappointing although the imagery is AMAZING.
Some jaw-dropping visuals in some scenes.
