It was a good movie, just the wrong name. not enough "Miami."

saw it last night. pretty good, could have been better. i thought the Asian chick's casting was kinda wierd....Asian chick is the right hand "man" of a Columbian drug lord? and her cousin, presumably Asian as well, is the harbor master of a port in Havanna?  anywho, i think they could have picked a better captain than that black guy with the pelican chin. also thought they should have cast Tubbs as someone else, someone who could actually play a Hispanic, rather than just calling him Ricardo. didnt fit at all. the bald cop was assumedly playing the chubby/happy hawaiin shirt wearing cop from the show. thought they could have cast someone closer to his likeness, not that they really included him and his skinny partner much like they always did in the show. i thought Colin Ferrel played Crocket excellently. the girl who played Gina was good too. the whole audience cheered when she shot that dude in the neck  the Ferrari could have at least been white! i read that the testarossa in the show was originally black but they painted it white for better contrast. same rule applies here. dark gray and night shooting dont go so well together.  cool boat scenes too.. oh yeah, i hate this "new" style of filming where they make it seem like the G0ddamn cameraman is part of the cast. with the camera bounching around shaking!  IMO i makes the movie completely less enjoyable.

My woman complained about the camera angles too. I tend to enjoy those types of angles as opposed to the straight shot scenes It makes me feel like im there.
I loved the movie, but I was too young to be diehard into the series so the little nuiances were not a problem for me.

Actually the Japanese are rather involved in South America. and the Yakuza, essentially the Japanese Mafia, are known to have activities there as well. In the early 1900s many hundreds of thousands of Japanese moved to South America and recently the Japanese government has been rather heavily participating in economic cooperation throughout the region. In the late '90s Peru even had a Japanese President. So it's really not much of a stretch to have Asians in position of power in Latin American organizations.

If it is entirely this type of camera style, then I'm not watching that movie.
