It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Almost all Martin Lawrence's movies fail at delivering something original or decent plot wise. So I wasn't expecting to be impressed by this movie. Honestly, the only redeeming quality to this movie was Martin's hilarious performance in this entire movie! That itself was enough for me to keep me watching this. I will admit, I did chuckle at a lot of scenes! But I still would recommend it to friends!Movie: Average Humor: Excellent

After stealing an extremely expensive diamond "Miles Logan" (Martin Lawrence) finds that he has been betrayed by a member of his team and is sent to prison. However, before he is arrested he manages to hide the diamond in one of the vents of a building currently under construction. Having served his time Miles returns to the construction site a couple of years later and discovers that the building now serves as the headquarters for the Los Angeles Police Department. As a result, he has to find some way of gaining entry into secured parts of it in order to retrieve the diamond—and the man who betrayed him is watching his every move. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had some good comedy here and there. Unfortunately, I don't believe that Martin Lawrence was the best actor for the task at hand as he just doesn't have the necessary "screen presence" required for a leading role such as this. At least, I don't think so. Be that as it may, this wasn't a bad movie by any means and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.

This caper film opens with thief Miles Logan leading a raid to steal a massive diamond; it goes wrong when gang member Deacon gets greedy and shots another of the gang leaving his body to fall from the building onto a police car parked below. Logan manages to get out and stashes the diamond in a ventilation duct of a building under construction before being arrested. Two years later he is released from jail and returns to the building and is horrified to learn that it is now a police station! In order to get into the building he steals a pass then gets a friend to change the picture. His friend also provides paperwork suggesting that Logan is a cop being transferred to the station. Unfortunately his friend is a bit too complimentary… the paperwork suggests that he is some sort of super-cop! His plan to be in and out quickly go wrong and he finds himself doing actual police work and even getting promoted… during this time his sole priority is getting his hands on the diamond.When I sat down to watch this I wasn't expecting too much; it was just the 'third film' in a triple pack where I wanted to watch the other two… as it turned out I enjoyed it the most of the three. The story is fairly basic but it is a lot of fun. Martin Lawrence does a fine job as Logan; sometimes he crosses into silliness but he also delivers some genuine laugh out loud moments. He also manages to do the action and straighter moments in a solid manner. The rest of the cast are solid as well; most notably Luke Wilson as the rookie detective Logan is partnered with and Peter Greene who is suitably unpleasant as Deacon. As well as the comedy there are some impressive action sequences including the opening heist and the shootout followed by a race to the Mexican border in the final scene. Overall I wouldn't call this a must see film but if you are looking for ninety minutes of comedy action with little in the way of offensive material you could do a lot worse than this.

Well, "Blue Streak" is the kind of comedy that worked well in 90's, but nowadays doesn't work that good anymore. It's the famous funny action movie with a famous Hollywood comedian-- which isn't really the case, since Martin Lawrence isn't that famous and never was.The plot of this film is something creative that deliver some smiling moments, but never truly invokes the laughter. I didn't expect to laugh a lot, so I am not disappointed at all. If you give this a chance, be prepared to see a naive and silly action comedy without many achievements, but entertaining enough to give you a good time. And I just don't give it a 7 because it makes fun of American Police Departments-- thought I'm not a cop even in my country, I'm well informed of all the problems that a disrespected police can cause to a whole country.
