Wonder how this would have turned out. 

Rather like Band of the Hand, I suspect. In other words...badly.

Mann is great with visuals and some of the atmospherics. Writing and character stuff...not so much IMO.

Have to disagree with you there Robbie. Almost all of Mann's films have great writing as well as visuals.

And this spinoff would've basically been 21 Jump Street In Miami.

I totally agree, when you watch a films like Thief or Heat the writing is unbelievably good, he is one of the greatest if the not the best at creating realistic dialogue in crime films. The coffee scene in Heat is iconic. His writing is just as good as the visuals. "My life's a disaster zone. I got a stepdaughter so f***ed up because her real father's this large-type asshole. I got a wife, we're passing each other on the down-slope of a marriage - my third - because I spend all my time chasing guys like you around the block. That's my life"
