    George Armitage brings the to the screen the first in the late Charles Willeford's Hoke Moseley crime thrillers in a grand style. But before warned. This film will either thrill you or disgust you.
    "Miami Blues" is very faithful to the novel of the same name. The young Alec Baldwin is perfectly casted as the violent psychopath Freddy Frenger, Jr. or simply Junior. No actor is more suitable to fill the role of Sgt. Hoke Moseley than Fred Ward (who also acted as one of the producers of the film. And Jennifer Jason Leigh is also very good as another one of the frail women they she plays so well.
    "Miami Blues" centers around recently paroled nut job Junior arriving in Miami (set to the tune Spirit in the Sky which become the theme of the movie), setting up house keeping with innocent young hooker Susie but continuing his criminal ways. As a result he runs afoul of uncouth Miami cop Moseley (in the opening scene Junior breaks the fingers of an annoying Hare Krishna leading to his death in a scene that is as funny to see as it is hard to watch). Note: in the book this Hare Krishna is actually the brother of the hooker Susie that Junior later sets up house keeping. While that fact is over looked in the screenplay it is typical to the approach the story telling takes. As Junior and Moseley cross paths Junior beats the older cop nearly to death and then steals his badge, gun and his false teeth. Now its up to the weaken Moseley to track down Junior, end his crime wave and most importantly recover his badge, gun and teeth.
    I enjoyed this very violent and bloody black comedy so much that after my first viewing I purchased the entire book series the next day and I am very happy to now add the DVD to my film collection.
    Some might say that Armitage went a little too far with the violence and gore but that is all lifted directly from the books so if you have a hard time viewing films were faces are sewn back up and fingers are hacked off by meat cleavers than this is certainly not the film for you.

    I saw this movie on video about ten years ago. It was also my first time seeing Alec Baldwin's very hairy chest. OMG it was love at first sight! (for the man and the movie). Not only is this movie cool, sexy, and fun, but all the principle characters (Baldwin, Jennifer Jason-Leigh, and Fred Ward) really seem to be enjoying themselves and are absolutely excellent in their roles. It's the perfect ensemble piece that serves as both escapist entertainment fare and dark social comedy--a commentary on the American Dream won and lost. Baldwin is perfectly cast as the quick-tempered, sexy bad-boy who strongly hints at being possibly bi-sexual--the result of having been a "top" in prison (though the film never specifically confirms that). But just check out the initial sexual encounter between him and the boyish-looking Jennifer Jason-Leigh, then draw your own conclusion. This is a largely under-appreciated indie film with two attractive leads that would go on to individual fame, which begs the question: how could a movie this good have escaped any oscar consideration?

    It pulled me in again. Second time I've watched this great quirky film with it's bright pastels and memorable characters. It's so engrossing and unique and different due to great performances by Baldwin, Ward, and an amazingly endearing Jennifer Jason Leigh. Time flies by as the dichotomy between the American Dream and the American Nightmare is revealed with grit and tenderness and subtle American-style humor. The odd offbeat minor characters add just the right amount of spice and the ending is so perfect and complete that it left me whispering "wow" once again.

    "Miami Blues" is a crime drama with a little comedy thrown in. It's more odd than funny. Fredrick J. Frenger Jr., played by Alec Baldwin, is a sociopath who we hope has some redeeming qualities because of his good looks. He's just a bad person prone to violence. Jennifer Jason Leigh gives a good performance as a cute but incredibly stupid hooker who hopes she can set up house with "Junior" and live happily ever after if he can keep his promise to stay out of trouble. I thought the script was intelligent, but not funny. This movie just quirky enough to be entertaining. This was not one of the best movies of 1990. It was a flop, losing about $1 million. I'm surprised at so many excellent views. I'll give it three stars for being entertaining.

    I missed out on the Blu-ray that Shout! Factory released in 2015. It wasn't available for very long and quickly became a sought-after item, fetching big bucks on eBay. This new release actually has all of the extras of the Shout! Factory Blu-ray plus a few more, such as audio dubs in French and Spanish. Glad I waited because I almost paid a fortune for the Shout! Factory version out of desperation. That said, the Blu-Ray quality is not the greatest, not much better than the MGM widescreen DVD I've had for 20 years. But the interviews with Baldwin and Leigh are cool, which is the main reason I wanted this Blu-ray. Shame that they couldn't interview Fred Ward before he passed on.

    I bought this dvd at the same time I bought To Live and Die in L.a. and really enjoy both movies. This is a very under-rated movie that has comedy, action and quasi-romance. The acting is great and there is not one bad scene in the movie. The dvd is a little disappointing in that it has absolutely no extras, unlike To Live and Die in L.a., which has great extras. The movie more than makes up for that though and can be enjoyed again and again. I put it in the same league as The Way of the Gun, True Romance, and Reservoir Dogs. If you like that kind of violent comedy, this is for you...

    4.0 out of 5 stars Curieux film...
    Reviewed in France on November 5, 2010
    Il est passé presque inaperçu lors de sa sortie en salles et ses passages TV, mais d'aucuns le considèrent comme un vrai petit film-culte. "Miami Blues" peut être vu comme une sorte d'ancêtre des polars "décalés" qu'on produit de nos jours à la chaîne. On voit bien qu'il est estampillé années 80, mais il ne paraît pas aussi daté que d'autres polars de la même époque. Un scénario léger mais plutôt bien troussé, des situations et des personnages déconcertants et finalement drôles et attachants (les acteurs prennent visiblement du plaisir à jouer)... Si on est amateur de curiosités, on aurait tort de passer à côté ! A découvrir, donc. L'édition DVD est très bonne malgré l'absence de bonus : belle définition, son propre, choix entre VO et VF (d'époque, et soignée!), choix de sous-titres... C'est du bon boulot.

    Reviewed in Germany on December 23, 2007
    Der gerade erst aus dem Knast entlassene Ganove Junior (Alec Baldwin) will im sonnigen Miami den großen Coup landen. Bereits im Flugzeug hat er sich die Identität eines seiner Opfer zugelegt, am Flughafen bringt er dann aus Zufall einen Krishnaanhänger um. Von da an hat er den etwas debilen Polizisten Mosley (Fred Ward) am Hals. Im Hotel angekommen, lernt Junior die Prostituierte Susie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) kennen. Er lügt ihr was von einer bürgerlichen Existenz und dem großen Glück vor. Von den Erlösen aus seinen Beutezügen (er beklaut mit Vorliebe andere Verbrecher) mieten sie ein Haus und kaufen einen schicken Sportwagen. Während Junior sich immer weiter in Lügen und kriminelle Machenschaften verstrickt, kommt Susie ihm langsam auf die Schliche... Ich habe vorher noch nie einen Film gesehen, wo sich ein Polizist von dem Film-Bösewicht Dienstmarke, Waffe und Gebiss (!) klauen und seine Fälle lösen läßt. Miami Blues ist ein herrlich schräger Action- und Krimifilm mit genau so schrägen Figuren, allerdings teilweise recht brutal. Für einen netten DVD-Abend aber bestens geeignet!

    5.0 out of 5 stars AS SHOCKING AND MEANINGLESS AS IIFE CAN SOMETIMES BE
    Reviewed in Canada on June 20, 2014
    Watched the movie some twenty years ago, when my now post-graduate daughter was one year of age. Now bought it on DVD for retrieving the all-in-one-moment frame of mind of the Gottlieb character (Alec Baldwin), the hopeful submission of Susie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and the rude, intuited and somewhat feeble police enforcement officer ? (Fred Ward).
    As well as the "Spirit in the sky" tune by Norman Greenbaum that put it all in some morbid ethereal perspective.

    See the electric performance of then young and fit Alec Baldwin, the downcasted one of Leigh...

    Some psychopaths and delinquents were well portrayed there, as well as marginal law enforcement officers...

    A rather good movie, with touches of sensitivity amidst all the violence: "Junior had many good points for him: he ate all I cooked and never hit me.." And the murderer went beyond his instinctual impulses so as to apologized, albeit with further motives...
    Good and honest, althought simplistic, depiction of human nature and complexity, which results in sometimes surprising outcomes...

    Not bad at all..
