After I watched it again, there wasn't any doubt in my mind that it would. I'm a little surprised you haven't seen it yet. A second viewing, especially at home, allows for a slightly different reading since one isn't immersed in Mann's formalism as much, which could be overwhelming at first. Miami Vice's sociocultural and political aspects also make a greater impact, and Mann's knowledge cements it (the commentary track is essential). His use of music, and not just here, is another element which isn't talked about as much. Farrell's Sonny Crockett would do well with the likes of Ford, Huston and Fuller. I think you'll like the film.
