Miami Vice - How can such fast cars, boats and planes make such a slow movie?

This movie drags, drags unbelievably. All the special effects and hyperpowered vehicles combine like many bright colors of paint... to end up with dull gray. The movie is as dreary as the colors it's shot in, or lack of colors. Colin Farrel is stunningly miscast, and seems almost like he's standing in until whoever's supposed to be playing the role shows up. Even his hair is all wrong, as though he was in the middle of growing it out for whatever movie he was doing next, and didn't bother cutting it since he was just a stand-in on this movie... and then they real star never showed up, so they had to just use all those rehearsal scenes they'd shot with the stand-in. Waste of time.
