Before he thrilled film fans worldwide with cinema highlights such as » The Last of the Mohicans «, » Insider «, » Collateral » and » Heat «, director great Michael Mann was the main producer behind the 80s cult series » Miami Vice «, whose style he was behind had a decisive influence on the scenes. Mann’s latest project » Tokyo Vice «, which for him not only marks a return to series production, but also a general directorial comeback a full seven years after the hacker thriller » Blackhat «, has little to do with his despite the similarity in title to do with the former series hit.
The style and tone are more reminiscent of Mann’s » Miami Vice » theatrical release from 2006, although it’s not going to the US East Coast, but – as the title already suggests – to distant Japan. And that’s a good month after the US start of the series now in Germany too…
