Nah, respectfully, this isn't accurate…..The show, light 80's touches aside is really dark and nihilistic, with strong characterization of it's leads…The movie stripped down the characterization, and any hints of brevity and to me was fukking dope…..I always defend this movie on here, but I really love it. It is nothing like generic action pic, it's classic post 2000's Michael Mann, with incredible cinematography and scenery, brutal action sequences and great acting….The script is rough at times, esp. Farrell's dialogue, but thats part of it's charm, if you are a fan of Don Johnson as Crockett. As a crime thriller it is pretty amazing, the details, the settings, no one does it like Mann.
