The film stars Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell as Tubbs and Crockett, as well as acclaimed Chinese actress Gong Li as the banker and right-hand woman of a powerful Colombian druglord.
After a tragic security breach in the Joint Inter-Agency Task Force (JIATF), run by Agent FBI Agent Fujima (Ciarán Hinds), the FBI ask for help from the Miami authorities, who are not part of the compromised group. This assignment goes to Detectives James 'Sonny' Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs (Jamie Foxx). Going undercover as offshore boat racers and outlaw smugglers Sonny Burnett and Rico Cooper, they take on the narcotrafficking network of the mysterious Archangel de Jesus Montoya-Londono (Luis Tosar) and his Cuban Chinese banker, Isabella (Gong Li).
The case lures Crockett and Tubbs into a deep and grimey underworld, where identity and fabrication become blurred. Cop and Player fuse into one—making their lives even more difficult, especially when Crockett falls for Isabella, and when Tubbs's loved one (Naomie Harris) is assaulted. José Yero (John Ortiz), second in command to Archangel de Jesus Montoya-Londono, suspects Crockett's and Tubbs's false identities and attempts to strike the hardest at them by targeting those whom they love the most.
MAD Verdict: There are plenty of gunfights and some thrilling chases across both the sea and sky making this an enjoyable romp.
