 For three decades, Michael Mann has remained one of the most compelling filmmakers, and his consistent level of artistry has created an indelible influence on cinema. His stylish, lasting dramas from Manhunter and Heat to The Insider and Collateral examine the complicated dynamic-and sometimes indefinite margin-between criminals and those struggling to keep one step ahead of them, even at the cost of their own psyches.
In 2006, Mann returns to the seminal franchise on which he first gained his reputation in television: Miami Vice. According to writer F.X. Feeney, in his book Michael Mann (Taschen, 2006), “After Collateral, Mann lost no time choosing Miami Vice as his next project.
What attracted him to the original teleplay in 1984-the reality of life undercover-he finds no less compelling in our new, `globalized' millennium.” Mann's interest in telling the story of a dark world connected through “multi-commodity,” continues Feeney, lies in the fact that “drugs, weapons, pirated software, counterfeit pharmaceuticals, even human beings are all routinely trafficked and sold, across international boundaries.”
