He knows the cops-n-robbers territory, and his style couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the cheesy flambuoyance of the 80s television show upon which it is based. I think this is this year's "Batman Begins" -- a movie nobody will take seriously until it comes out and they see it and it turns out to be a lot of fun.

Ah, but there's one other credit for Michael Mann that bears mentioning: he was one of the executive producers for the same "Miami Vice" TV show upon which the film is based. His style may be "diametrically opposed" to that of the show, but he also probably knows the show's style better than anyone else who could've directed the film.

Whether that'll make the movie better or worse is open to debate...
