  • Mojitos are a major beneficiary, although the mojito conversation has comically little chemistry.
  • The mid-2000s music and Farrell hair and mustache have come around; modern widescreen presentation serves the photography.
  • Cuba is an appealing movie destination, with the Fast and Furious franchise cited as another user.
  • Silent driving recalls the television partners and a pleasure difficult to find in Los Angeles traffic.
  • Taking cell calls in speeding convertibles strains plausibility, as does talking on the speedboat.
  • The instrumental ending with the waterfall is praised; its band name is transcribed inconsistently.
  • The same band is discussed in connection with a football documentary and the Kobe doing work comparison.
  • Michael Mann is contrasted with Scorsese for using contemporary music; the filmmaker transcribed as Jonathan Demi is also praised.
  • Numb/Encore went from seeming like a bad commercial mashup to an inspiring athletic hype song.
  • The song also earns a place on a soccer-trip playlist.
  • The rock-rap, Moby and Latin-influenced house music now seem appropriate to the film and Miami club culture.
  • Music and cinematography are the final responses; silent rescue cutaways and the contrast between nighttime and daylight are praised.
