she has a hefty part in the movie. she's in almost every frame. clearly... she IS the female lead. the movie bored me in the first 45 minutes w/ all these nude shower sex scenes w/ gong li & colin farrell. jamie foxx was also gettin it on w/ some black girl w/ an EXCELLENT @$$.
the movie doesnt pick up until the last hour when bullets start getting pumped through people's heads, arms get blown off, ect. gong... has 3 guys that like her. 2 that she's fu-ked. colin of course (looking like a crack ho) and some colombian guy in his late 40's w/ a bin laden beard. the 3rd guy is a tiny little mexican guy that doesnt fu-k her but has an enormous crush on her. gong speaks spanish fluently in the movie, too.
she looked utterly fugly in this movie. i cant believe this is the same gong li in memoirs of a geisha. she looked uber hot there.
as for colin... eeew. the tabloids have been saying that he went straight to rehab after the filming was completed & i can totally see why. omg... he looks 50, bloated, and completely trashed. jamie foxx looks good, in contrast. he looks well buff & fit in the shower scene.
overall, the movie is a B+.

The movie didn't get any action until the last 15-10minutes. I thought it was overhyped and a waste of my money. Seriously the movie is called miami vice. It should have some things related to the classic tv series. Half the movie didn't even take place in miami. The two guys rico and sonny were suppose to be cool playas. Not quiet emos. I give the movie a D

how so? chix like halle berry, monica belucci, and julia roberts are all in their 40's or near it. as long as she looks anywhere between 28 to 35 then its all good. she's classier than lucy liu and she already has a huge worldwide fan base. i totally want her in hollywood. she's not trashy & an embarassment like bai ling or kimora lee simmons. se's elegant, tall, great body, she can act, and is 100% chinese. do u realize that women like zhang ziyi, michelle yeoh, and gong li are breaking records in the us? i mean an asian female lead where the character is strong & not submissive or stupid. so what she showed her body, thats art.

this is the only movie where the female lead is older and taller then the guy hehe
my guess is that they probably didn't want to play a hollywood actress top dollar so they looked elsewhere..it must be already expensive for the studio to make this film because of michael mann, colin farrell and jamie foxx plus the big production costs.

Gong Li made me cringe every time she talked in English. She seemed to speak Spanish fine, but then again I had no clue what she was saying or how to speak proper Spanish. But it sounded nice.
P.S. This is easily Michael Mann's worst movie.
P.P.S. Colin Farrel can't act.

isnt it strange that gong li spoke excellent spanish yet incomprehensible english? my bf & i were torn. i liked the last 45 minutes & he seems to think it was an overall great movie. i found it slooooooooooow & dark.

when did it even go out in theatres?

i watched it b/c my first reaction to reading the title and then the cast was: "wtf is this movie?"

If you look at the movie, the relationship btwn colin and gong dragged the movie down. It was because of her the movie sucked @$$. I thought the relationship was totally uneeded and hindered the progress of the movie. Miami Vice is totally supposed to be about action but it turned out to be a love flick. THe movie pales in comparison to Manns previous works ie. Heat and Collateral.
Also the movie suffered from production difficulties, the hurricanes destroyed some of manns production notes and Foxx kept b!tching about pay.
Last, the last gunfight was one of the best i've ever seen. It rivals Heat in realism and action.

No movie gunfight come's close to matching Heat's fyi. Honestly I'm a big fan of Michael Mann, but Miami Vice the movie just flat out blows. Kinda funny considering he was the producer of the TV show.

why would this piss me, specifically off?
it would if I were a self respecting asian woman, but I'm not.
judging from interviews, it seems like asian and asian-american actors have a hard time getting into hollywood or even into TV shows without playing stereotypical roles.
daniel kim's wife was originally planned to leave him for a white guy on lost.
and you support that? obviously, it's just a tv show, and miami vice is just a movie. but it's obviously racist.

It is very contrived for the movie to drop a Chinese lady in Columbia and Cuba, and the movie came up with a half-arsed explanation for the Chinese being there. That character is completely out-of-place in the story. That role should have been a latina.
Goddamnit, don't use a Chinese woman in a Hollywood movie unless she gets to do some kung fu!

i feel sorry for white women. they have to be subjected to images of asian women being whores to white males.
but imagine if every movie in asia had images of white women being willing loving whores to asian males. asian women would not stand for that. esp. if it was in so many movies.
i feel sorry for white women. they aren't even allowed to complain. or maybe they just don't love white men enough to complain. lolz
