Review of Blue Streak (1971) by Jason O — 10 Sep 2009

Before watching "Blue Streak," I had heard that it wasn't that good of a movie, but I knew that since it has Martin in it that it had to at least have a few funny parts, and I was right.

Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) is a jewel thief who just got out of prison. He pretends be a cop in order to try and find the jewel that could make him millions of dollars richer. But it won't be as easy as he first thought it would.

Since I had heard so many not so rave reviews about "Blue Streak," I wasn't really expecting that much out of it. There are a few parts that are flat out hilarious and the movie itself is interesting enough even when it's not funny. If you like Martin in other movies such as "Nothing To Lose" or "Big Momma's House," give "Blue Streak" a chance. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. I've always liked Martin.
