More on Miami Vice



Crockett and Tubbs infiltrating a drug-smuggling empire that extends to Paraguay, Haiti and Havana. This leads, of course, to action vignettes on both land and sea. It's to the director's credit that, no matter how spectacular the action, you still feel like you're eavesdropping.
The screenplay obliges both male leads with a love interest. Noted Chinese actress Gong Li ("Memoirs of a Geisha") intensely plays Isabella, the drug lords' financial analyst/money launderer. Her sad eyes and mournful demeanor strike a chord with the ever-brooding Crockett, and they indulge in energetic displays of passion.
Tubbs has a more stable relationship with Trudy, an outspoken intel analyst played with vigorous appeal by Naomie Harris, also seen currently as the voodoo fortune-teller in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest."
