Blue Streak Audience Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
ComedyFan2010 I see a lot of people don't like it because it isn't realistic. Who cares! It is a comedy not a character analyzing drama.And as a comedy it works just fine. We get a very creative story and a lot of laughs thanks to it as the plot gets along. The actors are also very good. I loved Martin Lawrence as the main character. He is perfect at it and keeps us laughing the way he delivers hilariously written jokes. It was also a pleasure to watch Dave Chappelle in it. He has a smaller part but is hilarious whenever he appears on stage.Really recommend it to other comedy fans who don't care too much about reality but just about getting some good fun.
Samuel-Shovel 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.
M MALIK Thats right 90s was awesome in almost any genre films were awesome way better then what we have today specially in comedy & action this film blue streak was the last true buddy cop,crime action film from late 90s but only after rush hour 1998.Just when millennium 2000 was about to hit & end of the 20th century was near many films came out that year & remained my favorites like the matrix & the world is not enough 007 & this one blue streak was one of them.Blue streak did not garnered enough positive critical or large theatrical reception but it still remains a cult classic among the fans maybe that is just because of Martin Lawrence was in the lead role.The Plot:some thieves commit a robbery one of them miles Logan steals the large diamond but things go awry when police gets alerted miles gets some time to hide the diamond in the under construction area police arrives on the spot & arrests Logan he gets jailed when released he finds out the under construction area is now police station he disguises as a cop & looks for a way to extract the diamond hidden somewhere near the air duct area.From start to finish this film runs of situational & slapstick comedy but more then that the dialogs & quotes are hilarious by Martin Lawrence.The Cast:Luke Wilson was nice,Tamala Jones was unrecognizable & surprise i liker her in castle TV show 2009,rest of the cast does goo job but real star is Martin Lawrence he just nails it every time love him or hate him the guy is funny & a great comedian next to Chris Tucker.There is a line in this film i find it hilarious when miles says to the officer,what are you gonna do with one shoelace?floss your butt.This is totally not for kids the language is crass,rude & abusive i am surprised at how this is rated PG-13 it should have been Rated-R & this is coming from Sony pictures Columbia wow.The project has its flaws but still the good script,comedy & great acting display saves this film making it totally enjoyable for everyone specially adults.There is a Indian remake of this film out there called Chor Machaye Shor 2002 starting Bobby Deol many of the things are changed in that version,best thing about blue streak is how everyone is after the diamond but miles tricks everyone every time in any situation it is just like the mask film of Jim Carrey.Overall Blue Streak 1999 is a rare underrated gem of a film if you have not seen it yet go grab a copy & watch it my rating is 7/10:Must See
SnoopyStyle Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) is a jewel thief who hits the big score, a diamond worth $17 million. However his fellow thief Deacon (Peter Greene) doesn't want to share. Deacon escapes from the cops, but Miles is caught. Before being caught, he stashes the diamond in the vent of an unfinished building next door. Little did he know, that building would become an LAPD police station. Two years later, he gets out of prison, and tries to retrieve the loot from right under the police's nose.Martin Lawrence is allowed to go off without restraint, and it's all the worst for it. He's not a likable guy when he does that. The story is basically stupid that requires the viewers not to think. The big question is whether it's funny. The answer is no. His antic gets tiresome. And pairing him up with a clueless Luke Wilson doesn't improve anything. They have no chemistry due to their characters. The funniest part of the movie is Dave Chappelle. I rather have this as a Dave Chappelle movie.
