MIAMI VICE
SYNOPSIS
Ricardo Tubbs (Academy Award? winner Jamie Foxx
of Ray, Jarhead) is urbane and dead smart. He lives
with Bronx-born intel analyst Trudy, played by British
actress Naomie Harris (28 Days Later, upcoming
Pirates of the Caribbean II and III), as they work
undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida
to identify a group responsible for three murders.
Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell of S.W.A.T., The New
World) ]to the untrained eye, his presentation may
seem unorthodox, but procedurally he is sound] is
charismatic and flirtatious until-while undercover
working with the supplier of the South Florida
group-he gets romantically entangled with Isabella,
the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs
trafficker. Isabella is played by the Chinese actress
Gong Li (Raise the Red Lantern, Memoirs of a Geisha).
The best undercover identity is oneself with the
volume turned up and restraint unplugged. The
intensity of this case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out
onto the edge where identity and fabrication become
blurred, where cop and player become one-especially
for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for
Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he
loves.
