Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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.

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

Python Hyena Blue Streak (1999): Dir: Les Mayfield / Cast: Martin Lawrence, Luke Wilson, Dave Chappelle, Peter Green, Nicole Parker: Hilarious concept referring to man's luck in the least likely place. That could be a reference to a decent idea thrown into a formula driven action comedy that is by-the-numbers. Martin Lawrence stars as a thief who is arrested but he hides a diamond in an air vent. One of his partners is killed, another escapes, and the third betrays him. Released from prison two years later he discovers that the building he originally robbed is now a police station. Directed by Les Mayfield with routine storytelling and a standard action climax straight out of your everyday crime television episodes. This is no gem comedy but for Mayfield, it is a far cry from the pathetic Flubber. Lawrence employs every ounce of comic wit he can and rises above the routine material despite an ending that is questionable at best. Luke Wilson is cardboard as his partner. In a more limited role Dave Chappelle is funny as Lawrence's friend who is subjected to various techniques of interrogation. Peter Green plays the standard villain whose presence is to look mean and issue threats before being arrested. Well made film that has an idea but no real followup in terms of plot or story structure. As a result we are left with a flat comedy where luck is not riding with the screenwriter. Score: 3 ½ / 10

Raul Faust 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.
