First, the comical thoughts:

• Colin Farrell is so much better in this then he was in Alexander … then again, how could he be any worse?
• This movie looks a ton like Collateral … oh wait, same director, never mind!
• One of the bad guys looks like the spanish version of Matt Matson. I’m serious! Someone find me a picture of Matt-GJ and I’ll prove it!!
• Somewhere about halfway through, you see tons of Mario signs …. was that the Haitian electronics district? Was that a Game Boy Color I saw advertised?!

Now for the truthful thoughts …

• I have to give it a hard time for totally leaving the ending wide open. Sure, you find out the outcome of one character … kinda? And the other end of the story is left completely hanging. There’s no true resolutions.
• Colin Farrell was alright, Jamie Foxx was very good as he usually is. The plot was good, but not great. The action has good moments in good locales, but not awe-inspiring by any account.
• From a guy perspective, too much teasing of skin and not enough skin shown! Oh well, you can’t have it all.

I paid $3.50 to see it, and that’s about right. Not worth full retail, but certainly a good afternoon showing movie, or good for the cheap theaters when this arrives there.

… and look for Miami Vice 2, cause it’s coming, it’s SO coming! Of course, it may be held outside of Miami more then it is IN Miami. Name change, anyone?
