After the excitement of part one where a hit man was after Crockett and Lt. Rodriguez I wasn't sure if the conclusion to this story might be a bit of a let down; thankfully it was at least as good as part one. Having learnt that Calderone is in The Bahamas Crockett and Tubbs take their boat over to the islands where they have a lead to his location; there is a woman named Angelina that he is close to; wherever she is he isn't likely to be too far away. Once there they check in with the local police then Tubbs sets off the meet Angelina and Crockett impersonates the hit man, hoping that Calderone's local employees won't have met him before. Tubbs manages to get close to Angelina and after spending the night with her learns that Calderone isn't her boyfriend she is her father! Things don't go according to plan and Crockett gets grabbed by Calderone's men so it is up to Tubbs to save the day.
This was a great conclusion to the story with some good action sense including a car chase through a scenic Caribbean city; in fact there was plenty of glorious scenery with the attractive island of St Croix standing in for The Bahamas. It was a nice twist having Angelina be Calderone's daughter and I was pleased that they avoided the cliché of having him accidentally kill her in the final shoot out. Away from the action there were plenty of good scenes; I particularly liked how Crockett demanded more money while pretending to be the hit man and the scenes of them heading out to The Bahamas and their return; it may have just been a shot of a speed boat cutting through the water interspersed with some flashback scenes but it looked cool; and looking cool is what Miami Vice is all about!
