Miami

Micel Delgado is a quadruple threat in this straight-to-video effort. As well as giving an over-the-top performance in the lead role, he also writes, directs and edits the film!

The inspiration is clearly "Miami Vice" and Delgado out-Michael-Manns Michael Mann, with an array of flashbacks, slo-mo, fast cutting, intense close-ups and pastel-shaded lenses. It's undoubtedly stylish but extremely tiresome after a while.

The story is routine cops n' robbers stuff. Best characters are the two ruthless female assassins who clearly enjoy their work, but they are neglected in favour of Delgado's strutting Latino machismo.

Bags of style (far too much, in fact) but not much substance.
