Although it's difficult to avoid playing "spot the stunt-double" in this episode of "Miami Vice", it's a well structured and interesting tale with some memorable moments.
"One Eyed Jack" is notable as being the first story to include the ultra-cool Martin Castillo. Never a man of many words, his first interactions with Crockett and Tubbs aren't particularly friendly but Crockett soon starts warming to his new boss. Picking Edward James Olmos for the part of Castillo was inspired casting. With Olmos joining the regular cast, the "Miami Vice" series truly stood out as landmark television. Not surprisingly, in 1985, Olmos won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in the series.
The cast of "One Eyed Jack" includes the first appearance of the excellent Dennis Farina as Lombard. Joe Dallesandro ("Flesh for Frankenstein") plays Vincent, Lombard's debt collector.
Although it's another dark episode overall, "One Eyed Jack" is a rare occasion where the final scene and freeze-frame leaves the viewer in a more upbeat mood than normal.
