Miami Winter

This was not bad but it was not up to the Manning brothers standard of excellence. There was little background and character development. The way they brought the story seemed forced and confusing to have two separate sections of the Police work together on a case with only two men working the case didn’t work for me and without support from higher up when they think it could involve National Security. Come on you guys are way better than that.

Great story, with a lot of excitement and a plot that kicks ass. Enjoyed this story and look forward to another Manning brothers story.

Miami Vice meets Lethal Weapon in this Action Thriller straight of the 80s!!!

I enjoyed this immensely. I knew what I was getting into since I’m familiar with the Manning brothers work, but I enjoyed every second of this homage to the over the top buddy-cop action movies of my Millennial youth.

Now I wish I could rent this movie from a Blockbuster video.

Great work! Looking forward to reading Nuclear Winter.
