Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born Intel analyst Trudy (Naomie Harris), as they
work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders. Sonny Crockett
(Colin Farrell) [to the untrained eye, his presentation may seem unorthodox, but procedurally, he is sound] is charismatic
and flirtatious until - while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group - he gets romantically entangled
with Isabella (Gong Li), the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs trafficker. The best undercover identity is oneself with
the volume turned up and restraint unplugged. The intensity of the case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where
identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one - especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella
and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves.
