 | I wouldn't expect any less of Martin Lawrence than comedy that has you rolling on the floor laughing, and this movie delivers that.
"Blue Streak" was a great way for Martin to slip in to different characters, as he does flawlessly. Each one uniquely different, and extremely hilarious. If you've seen his tv show "Martin," then you know exactly what I mean.
The supporting actors in this movie make it all that much better. This movie really does keep you guessing as to what's next, and is a must see for any Martin fan, or someone who just appreciates a good movie when they see it. |

| Martin Lawrence is definetely my favorite actor. He just makes everything funny, even if the script is weak. If you read his stand up material, for example, it isn't that funny at all. But if you watch it, you just can't help but laugh. This movie would be great even without Martin, but he just makes it as funny as can be. |

| In one of the few movies where Martin Lawrence's humor doesn't become seriously racist and xenophobic he plays Miles Logan, a jewel thief, after a $20 million diamond. But one of his team betrays him (Peter Greene, once again playing a bad guy) and they're plan is thrown all out of whack. After hastily stashing the diamond in a nearby construction site he is soon arrested sent away for 2 years. Upon release he heads back to the construction site only to find it's turned into a police station. No luck getting back in unless you're a cop then. A series of disguises fail and Logan ends up impersonating a cop in order to get to the diamond. But he's so good at the impersonation that police duty gets in the way and he's partnered with Carlson (Luke Wilson). Mild plot complications ensue and it becomes increasingly difficult for Logan to get to the diamond. Though the trouble really starts when Deacon (Peter Greene) comes back to get him. It's all brainless stuff but it makes for enjoyably silly viewing. Lawrence's improv isn't all that funny but the rest of his performance is strangely tolerable. Wilson isn't his usual self in the wimpy cop role but it's weird watching him pronounce 'real OLD SCHOOL' 4 years before said movie was released. And Dave Chappelle is hilarious Tulley, the amateur liquor store robber. There was supposed to be a sequel but plans for it fell through. It would have been a hundred times better than the awful Bad Boys sequel regardless of script quality. The DVD is in bright, clean 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen with a lively Dolby 5.1 soundtrack. There are some extras but nothing groundbreaking. |

| Martin Lawrence, (Miles Logan), plays a jewel theif who is arrested by police and returns to the place where he left his jewel only to find that it is a police station after his release from prision. He becomes a police while trying to find his jewel and actually solves crimes. Martin Lawerence has a good role and a good sense of humor in this film. |
