Excellent adaptation.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Miles Logan is a jewel thief who just hit the big time by stealing a huge diamond. However, after two years in jail, he comes to find out that he hid the diamond in a police building that was being built at the time of the robbery. In an attempt to regain his diamond, he poses as an L.A.P.D. detective. Martin Lawrence and cops movies why the hell wouldn't it work right? And it does and although he is an actual criminal he did a much better job than the actual cops in this movie and the ending was really great. What also surprised me is that Lawrence's character is more dynamic in this film even more than his Bad Boys one and that says a lot. This is a very good enjoyable comedy and you won't be disappointed.

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

Before I saw this film I hadn't even know about Martin Lawrence. After watching this movie he made it as one of my favourites. I watched this movie many times after wards. Though I was not laughing like the first time, each time I enjoyed his acting as well as other costars. Its a mood-lifter for me always. He is having both slapstick and verbal comedy talents blended together. The story is a very simple one. A diamond thief hides his valuable diamond in the air-duct of a building under construction. He was caught and jailed. After few years he comes back to get his jewel back from its hideout and finds out that the building has become a Police Department office. What does he do to get that diamond back ?...Yes.. You guessed it right.Watch out for this Diamond Thief.

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. (***)
