- A former convict poses as a cop to retrieve a diamond he stole years ago.
- Miles Logan is a jewel thief. Things go awry while he's stealing a huge diamond in downtown L.A.: a thief, Deacon, tries a double-cross, the police arrive, and Miles is arrested, but not before he hides the jewel in an air duct of a building under construction. Two years later, he's out of prison and he heads for the site: it's L.A.'s new police headquarters! Posing as a reassigned cop, Miles gets into the building, but before he can recover the swag, he's partnered with a naive detective and sent out to investigate burglaries. With Deacon on his trail, he must recover the diamond, keep the cops fooled, and do a few good deeds as a detective who can think like a criminal.
- The comedy was definitely worthwhile in this film, though I wouldn't say the best I've seen. This is more of a "renter" due to its lack of believable plot, and far-fetched "action" scenes. I enjoyed the movie, but wouldn't rush back to see it again.
- Fast-talking funnyman Martin Lawrence knocks the socks off "Blue Streak" (*** OUT OF ****), a lively but generic crime caper comedy, with his outrageous slapstick antics. Cast as Miles J. Logan, a career jewel thief who swipes a $17-million diamond and stashes it seconds before the cops cuff him, Lawrence steals the show when he masquerades later as an LAPD burglary detective to recover his ill-gotten gains. Director Les Mayfield never lets the lack of logic interfere with the loads of laughs. Anybody who enjoyed Lawrence in either "Bad Boys" or his canceled Fox sit-com "Martin" should relish this clever synthesis of "Beverly Hills Cop" meets "48 Hrs." "Blue Streak" opens with an exciting 13-minute cliffhanger sequence. Miles and his crew of high-tech thieves slide down an elevator shaft in a downtown L.A. skyscraper at night to filch a diamond from a heavily guarded museum. They disarm the alarm system with mini-computers, narrowly avoiding the guards patrolling the premises, and Miles rips off the rock. Deke (the ever sinister Peter Greene who played Zed in "Pulp Fiction") acts as their last-minute tech replacement guy who jams the security monitors and keeps them abreast about where the rent-a-cops are in the building. After Eddie (John Hawkes), Miles' right hand man, rejoins Deke on the roof, Deke shows his true colors and guns him down then awaits Logan to double-cross him, too. Eddie does a header off the roof, crashing into a police cruiser, while the cops are grilling Miles' chain-smoking getaway driver, Tulley (Dave Chapelle). Before Deke can get the diamond from Miles, the police storm the building, and Tulley peels away in a cloud of rubber.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Miles eludes the trigger-happy Deke at a construction site across the street from the museum. They escape by means of a cable stretched between the buildings, sliding along it on a hand-car. Half-way between the buildings, Miles realizes that he is heading straight for Deke who has him framed in his gun sights. At the last second, Miles cuts the cable and plunges Tarzan style a couple of floors below where Deke is waiting for him. Although Miles outsmarts Deke, the men-in-blue collar him moments after our hard luck hero hides the diamond in a ventilator shaft. A fuming Deke watches in frustration as the fuzz lead Miles away in cuffs.<br/><br/>Director Les ("Flubber") Mayfield gets "Blue Streak" off to a sizzling start. The snappy prologue recalls the daring rooftop heist at police headquarters in "Bad Boys" where thieves raided the evidence locker for narcotics. Mayfield deserves credit for adequately establishing a basis for everything that follows in "Blue Streak." This slickly produced comedy of errors and mistaken identities rarely strays from the sure-fire action comedy formula that catapulted Eddie Murphy to fame in "Beverly Hills Cop." While they keep the story simple and straightforward, scenarists Michael Berry, John Blumenthal, and Steve Carpenter never let Miles off the hook. No sooner has our hero extracted himself from one tight spot than he finds himself entangled in an even tighter one! Two years in prison elapse in flash for Miles, and he finds himself back on the street, minus one shoelace but eager to hook up with his girlfriend. As it turns out, Janiece (Tamala Jones), who never visited him while he served time, refuses to have anything to do with him. <br/><br/>This predictable but entertaining buddy picture/action comedy covers familiar terrain. Nevertheless, the writers enliven Lawrence's escapades with several surprise twists and turns. During a snack break at a stop'n shop store, Miles runs into Tulley. His ex-getaway driver has turned to robbery, which he shows little aptitude for, and the store clerk cuts loose with a hail of gunfire that sends both guys scrambling to the floor. Suddenly, the cops have them surrounded, and the SWAT team is in route. Miles explains that he has to arrest Tulley, so he can maintain his charade long enough to recover the diamond. Reluctantly, Tulley surrenders his machine gun, but only after Miles cuts him in for share of the diamond. The police are suitably impressed when Miles, a.k.a. Det. Malone, displays some fancy kung fu footwork to disarm the unsuspecting Tulley.<br/><br/>Primarily, Mayfield and his scenarists keep Miles jumping through hoops as he struggles to recoup the jewel and avoid a encounter with Deke. No matter how closely Miles gets to the diamond, the diamond itself seems to evade recovery. This strategy serves as a variation on the gag where a guy leans over to retrieve his hat and inadvertently kicks it out of reach before he can pick it up. Wisely, Mayfield keeps Martin Lawrence front and center throughout "Blue Streak." Happily, Lawrence makes the most of his first, full-fledged starring role, after sharing the limelight with Will Smith in "Bad Boys," Tim Robbins in "Nothing to Lose," and Eddie Murphy in "Life." Never off screen for long, Martin Lawrence gives a shamelessly hammy performance. Were it not the PG-13 rated movie, he would probably have spewed more profanity, but the absence of foul language doesn't detract from the fast-paced action. Peter Greene makes a vicious villain, and Dave Chappelle is hilarious as Miles' old getaway driver.<br/><br/>Sensibly, Mayfield pares the action down to its absolute essentials and keeps the throttle wide open during its trim 93 minute running time. Of course, Miles' ability to fool the police strains credibility severely; no way he could keep deluding them with his constantly outlandish lies, but Mayfield doesn't linger any longer than he must on these pesky problems. Romantic subplots are given short shrift, and at times, you wonder if the filmmakers had bigger ambitions than their budget could afford. The last third of the movie focuses on Miles' efforts to bust a major drug dealer, but Mayfield shortchanges this sequence in order to maintain momentum.<br/><br/>Martin Lawrence's grandstanding antics make "Blue Streak" worth watching.
- While the idea may be good, its execution is awful.
