Miami Vice vs. The Insider

I love both movies, so my opinion is irrelevant...but, you look at these two scripts and you notice some crazy ass shit, hijo. Miami Vice - Insider.

I know both these movies backwards and forwards. Insider is basically word for word what comes on the screen. Miami Vice is all over the place - lines totally changed, entire sections of scenes removed, entire scenes gone, characters coming in at different places. One might be able to make a comment about the differing "success" of each movie - Insider was Mann's peak performance whereas Miami Vice was lost in chaos from the get go.

Or - maybe the simple fact is - Insider is a shooting script and Miami Vice is an early draft. Maybe I should quit trying to be smart.
