Blue Streak (1999)

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Miles Logan (played by Martin Lawrence) is a jewel thief in the midst of a multi-million dollar job in pursuit of a large diamond stored in a bank. But the plan quickly falls apart as one of his partners turns on him and the police are hot on his trail. He ditches the diamond in the air ducts of a building being built and must return for it after his prison sentence. Little does he that this building is a police station! What is Miles to do? He must sneak in as a cop!Good grief! This is in that late 90's/early aughts period where we were under the impression that not only was Martin Lawrence extremely funny but we thought he could prop up an entire movie as it's star! (For more evidence, see "Black Knight". This movie is atrocious. Lawrence's performance as a master jewel thief who enjoys wisecracks and overly gesticulating is abysmal.Unfortunately for us, the supporting cast is not helping us out either. Luke Wilson is a piece of milktoast as Lawrence's green- behind-the-ears detective partner. The only funny bits come from Dave Chappelle who is criminally underutilized in this one.Very seldomly do the jokes land and I was cringing at a lot of the bits. Lawrence's "Pizza Delivery Guy" character was one of the most painful things I've had to sit through in a very long time. I shudder at the thought.Conclusion: An unfunny movie that has become even more unfunny over time.

Miles is robbing place and soon the police show up and he had to hide the diamond, when he final comes out of prison to go back to place.Then shocked to found out that, it9 been turned into police station , so the only he can get in is to become a cop.There are some really funny moments in this movie.as just really clever jokes and some good stunts scenes in this movie as well. There was really good chase scene, which was really funny to watch and there are few good twist and turns in this movie.Acting from everyone is great!I give this movie 8 out of 10

Wow, what a movie, Martin did a great job, right his performance was was absolutely brilliant. Great comedy and wow he does he make all those faces it makes me rock with laughter.The scene where he goes for a pizza delivery as a pizza boy, the look of the hair and the look of the teeth....and the funny dance he dopes in and out of the police station....it was simply outstanding.Great comedy by a great hero....I recommend to all movie lovers who like action/comedy movies. If you are planning to see this movie and you are here to get reviews on this movie, just give it a go and i guarantee that you will not regret after seeing it...

Before I saw this film I hadn't even know about Martin Lawrence. After watching this movie he made it as one of my favourites. I watched this movie many times after wards. Though I was not laughing like the first time, each time I enjoyed his acting as well as other costars. Its a mood-lifter for me always. He is having both slapstick and verbal comedy talents blended together. The story is a very simple one. A diamond thief hides his valuable diamond in the air-duct of a building under construction. He was caught and jailed. After few years he comes back to get his jewel back from its hideout and finds out that the building has become a Police Department office. What does he do to get that diamond back ?...Yes.. You guessed it right.Watch out for this Diamond Thief.
