Miami Blues is a 1990 film based on the novel of the same name by Charles Willeford. It stars Alec Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward, and was directed by George Armitage.
When sociopath Fred Frenger (Baldwin) gets out of prison, he decides to start over in Miami, Florida, where he starts a violent one-man crime wave. He soon meets up with amiable college student/prostitute Susie Waggoner (Leigh). Opposing Frenger is Sgt Hoke Moseley (Ward), a dilapidated divorced cop living out of a fleabag hotel, who is besieged on all sides, especially since the job of cop in 1980s Miami is getting crazier all the time.
