Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

mperry35 I still remember the first time I had seen Blue Streak...and I absolutely loved it. I enjoyed, both, the plot and the actors in the film. The film really works well with Martin's brand of comedy. Blue Streak gave him a chance to show off his comedic talents, without changing his physical appearance. However, what I enjoy the most is Martin's physical comedy and his sarcasm. He delivers comedic lines beautifully. If u don't like Martin Lawrences brand of comedy, then u will not appreciate how terrific the film is. There are many comedians who are considered brilliant comedians, but I may not see or interpret the comedy the same way as someone else. Comes down to taste, I guess. If ur a Martin Lawrence fan, then you will love the hell outta Blue Streak. I could watch it everyday and I'd find it hysterical.

Gideon24 Martin Lawrence had one of his best roles in an overlooked and underrated 1999 comedy called Blue Streak.Lawrence plays Miles Logan, a master thief who, prior to being arrested during a diamond heist, hid a very large diamond in the heating duct on the 4th floor of a building that was still under construction. A few years later, Logan is released and goes straight to the building and is blown away to discover that it is now a police station. Following a few lame attempts to get to the 4th floor, Logan realizes he has no option but to impersonate a police officer in order to get into the building. Things get stickier when the manufactured credentials that were created for him lead to his being put in charge of a major drug trafficking sting operation. He also finds himself genuinely caring about his rookie partner (Luke Wilson), who has come to idealize him, making it even more difficult for Logan to keep his eye on the prize.This comedy consistently entertains primarily thanks to Lawrence's ability to keep Miles Logan likable, no matter what he does. Yes, it is a little unsettling to believe that it is this easy to impersonate a police officer and move through the ranks so quickly. It's hard to accept the fact that Logan doesn't slip up long before he does, but the viewer forgives and accepts because we like Miles and more important, his partner and his superior officers like him, so we want the charade to work and yes, we really want to see him get that diamond back.Luke Wilson is charming as Logan's partner and in a refreshing change of pace, William Forsythe is on the right side of the law as Logan's commanding officer. Dave Chappelle also provides a few chuckles as an old acquaintance of Logan's who threatens to blow his cover. There is a well-staged shoot-out and a finale that will have you on the edge of your seat.

tuduashok 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...

Benjamin Wolfe Generally speaking, I'm not a Lawrence Fan, and was not that familiar with him or his show. At this time when this came to town I went because of the pre-views and thought it couldn't be that bad, right? In actuality, it was a lot of fun!! Martin was a great character that played the their turned sueto cop. This was a pleasure for me to watch. There are so many different things to choose from that it makes the competition tough. I'm thinking to myself, wow, I'm checking out Martin in the middle of everything else, so this must be strong enough. I was right. His dilemma after robbery, stealing expensive diamonds and then getting chased by the fuzz, makes things a little more complicated than he could handle. So, presto-stash-O. The diamond is stowed away, in a building that is going up. Good idea and 'quick' thinking for him. Although he gets busted anyway for breaking into the jewelry store. He does two years in the pen. He gets set free. Now he is feeling fine! He goes back to check out his girl and she has gone from a size petite, to Esther Role. This does not sit well with her either when he lets her know about the obvious change in girth. The rock of Gibraltar diamond that he stole, in his hiding place is not quite what he remembers it to be. He is a con that is free, standing in front of the new police building, where his little stolen article is awaiting his return. Now, complications play out bigger. He has what looks like a torette's syndrome break-down in front of the building and some officers out on break, while cars pass by and on lookers see him, freaking. He has to come up with a plan to get this job done. And considering where this is all taking place, it had better be brilliant. I won't give away what happens next, but this is a slick well crafted comedy with the likes of Luke Wilson and William Forsythe who has been in a number of outstanding films, both comedy and action and dramatic roles. There is always a bunch of stuff going on and it is a lot of crazy-half planned out funky Martin on the loose fun. He can't speak Spanish very well either, but that really won't hurt him in the end by the way. This is a Martin Lawrence casted good piece of now classic entertainment, that I can say, "Yes I recommend it." See it if you haven't. It isn't going to win an Oscar, but it will be worth the time to watch. (***)
