Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Rasheed Zelig Thomas 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

Tweekums 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.

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.

puttputtk Blue Streak (1999)5 word summaryDimond thief poses as detective As with most Martin Lawrence films, I enjoyed Blue Streak more when I was younger, however, I'm not saying I don't enjoy it. Blue Streak is probably one of my favorite Martin Lawrence films, along with What's The Worst That Could Happen, Life, and Wild Hogs. It's completely unrealistic and not all that well performed or even casted, but it does make me laugh. If you get past the part of it being ridiculous (as far as realistic goes) the scenes are decently set up. If a criminal was able to do what Lawrence's character does then these are some of the funny things that could happen and the reaction he would have had to them. At the same time, not all the parts are like this and some scenes are just kind of stupid. Lawrence does alright for himself. He never has really been a great actor but he is sometimes pretty funny and that's what happened here. Tolerable performance, funny lines. Sometimes he does good and has actually funny and well done lines like in Life, other times he is not funny and just annoying, like in Black Knight. Dave Chappelle was definitely the highlight of the film. He is hilarious in almost every one of his scenes, making me wish he was in it more. Peter Greene gave basically the exact same performance as he did in The Mask, Training Day, Pulp Fiction and I'm assuming a lot of his other roles. He plays a good bad guy but nothing special. Luke Wilson was OK at best, same with the rest of the cast. The film is only held together by the comedy. It's an action comedy but the action is pretty clichéd. Your average gunfights and same old car chases, with some funny stuff here in there. Acting is OK, directing OK, story is pretty dumb and so on. Nothing special. If you enjoy Martin Lawrence then you will enjoy this film. If you don't like him don't even attempt to watch it. I like the movie but I'll say it's nothing worth going out of your way to see. If it's on TV or something and you are in the mood to have some laughs then go for it. Perhaps you will really like it. 7/10
