Miami Connection is the sort of film that rarely sees the light of day anymore – a really bad, totally inept mess that reeks of more ambition than talent.

Hits the sweet spot between stunning ineptitude, hilariously dated period touchstones, and a touching naïveté that gives it an odd distinction. As with the other so-bad-it's-good sensations that have toured the midnight circuit over the last few years - The Room, Birdemic, Troll 2 - its awkwardness comes partly from a foreign-born auteur making an American film, and the culture clash plays out for all to see.
