Format:Audio CD
As fans of his movies will know, Michael Mann treats music as a fundamental tool in his movies to enhance and (at times) subvert the atmosphere of each scene. As such, those who liked the movie (and I count myself as one) will like this album. Smooth electronica mingles at times with heavily distorted power chords and at others soulful vocals. Taken together with the gentle but insistent beats of the soundtrack comprising the last four tracks, it is like listening to an audiobook of some of the more memorable scenes.
Stand outs are the mesmeric "One of These Mornings", "Anthem" and "Sinnerman", the evocative "Pennies in my Pocket" and (for me the highlight) "A-500", the slick groove that accompanied the flight to the Domenican Republic - the chord progression sounds like a homage to "Crockett's Theme".
Those of you who like electronica and ambient music generally will also find things to like about the album, though perhaps the less said about the nu-metal cover of "In the Air Tonight" the better...
One warning - the two Audioslave tracks that stand out in the movie do not appear on this soundtrack, on account of the band's impending new album. Nor does "Numb/Encore"...but to be honest if you can't find a copy of that somewhere, you're not trying hard enough.

This album is okay as far as it goes... but, alas, that's not very far at all. As with the Jarhead OST, this is a soundtrack album that fails to include the key track featured in the trailer, in this case the Jay-Z/Linkin Park collaboration from the opening scene. The new stuff from Audioslave is also sadly lacking. You do get a fair bit of Moby (I think there may be an official quota for obligatory Moby content in film soundtracks), a decent Nina Simone remix, and an okay nu-metal cover of In The Air Tonight, but that's about it. Which is, frankly, a bit cheeky.

Bought this soundtrack for my car , it is brilliant love the salsa music as well" it actually makes you feel as if you are really in Miami - mixture of all sorts - I recommend if you like miami vice - "buy it"

Very solid soundtrack
A good collection of tracks, the only thing missing is that it doesn't feature the title track which is a shame.

Could be a nice CD but...
...it does not have the Linkin Park title music, which I don't understand being this an Original Sound Track. I couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Atmospheric
This is a wonderfully atmospheric soundtrack. Like most Michael Mann films, music played a huge part in setting the tone for this hugely underated film. Read more

Typically good Mann OST
I have every Michael Mann movie ost except for 'Jericho Mile' and 'The Keep'. M Mann's (Mumbles Vice) jittery cop drama has an OST (original sound track) of two parts -- the... Read more

Loyal but Mixed Soundtrack
The soundtrack is loyal to the movie. However, in the movie the music is well placed. Outside the movie it's just a mix of tracks that do not go well together. Read more
