& Pans, A South Beach titbit

In
this new puttin'-on-the-glitz action series, Yancy Butler (Mann & Machine)
plays a cunning crook-of-all-trades working Miami's South Beach, the neon
and shocking pastel playground for beautiful people. But a bungled diamond
heist gives a tightly wrapped federal agent (a crew-cut John Glover) the
leverage to coerce her into doing his dirty work.
For
those who miss Miami Vice's flashy skullduggery, hip clothes and decor,
blaring music, blitzing action, bristling guns and speedboats knifing through
aquamarine waters, well, you just caught a wave. The formula just doesn't
pack as much sizzle the second time around. The camera surely loves Butler,
though.
