Martin Lawrence can certainly talk a blue streak (witness his concert film, You So Crazy), but he tones it down to PG-13 for this by-the-book action comedy. Lawrence stars as Logan, a bank robber and jewel thief (nice role model we're supposed to cheer for) who, just before he is arrested, manages to stash the $20 million diamond he has just heisted at a construction site. When he is released from prison two years later, he returns to the scene of the crime only to find that the completed building houses a police station. To get inside and retrieve the precious gem he secures a fake ID and passes himself off as LAPD's newest, and most unorthodox, detective. As he demonstrated on his TV series, Lawrence has a knack for characterization second to Eddie Murphy. But he's no Beverly Hills Cop. Indulgent sequences where Martin has seemingly been given free reign to ad-lib are the film's weakest. Early on, Logan cases the police station outlandishly disguised as a snaggle-toothed, Geri-curled pizza deliveryman. You'd think the last thing his character would want to do is call attention to himself. Lawrence is at his best in the scenes in which, thanks to all those years of breaking and entering, his formerly lawless character proves to be a natural at cracking burglary cases. Logan is paired with the requisite white partner, Carlson (Luke Wilson), a buttoned-up rookie. Departing from the Lethal Weapon, buddy-movie playbook, they are not antagonists; theirs is more a teacher-mentor relationship. "Don't we need a warrant to do that?" Carlson asks Logan at one point. "We don't even need a key," Logan responds, picking a lock. There is little in Blue that is remotely fresh, but Lawrence fans, who watched him play it straight opposite Murphy in Life, will relish the opportunity to see him get down with his bad self. --Donald Liebenson

Martin Lawrence done it again.......funny!.......2007-05-06

What can i say...Martin Lawrence is just one funny guy and is a joy to watch him being silly which is what he does best. Blue Streak has his signiture all over it after i seen it today. *spoiler* i have to admit that the bank robbery at the beginning is not believeble or just plain stupid. If a crook is going to double cross his partners in crime, DON'T DO IT DURING THE CRIME!!!! Like this guy shot his partner up on the roof with a gun while Martin was still in the process of stealing the diamond. Doesn't he think the sound might cause some suspicion? And when the body landed on the cop car, that guy was still trying to get the diamond with the police aftering both of them at his point...just stupid. They can learn a few things on double crossing from the 'The Italian Job' movie. But then again, this is more comedy then thriller so i let that part go but still an entertaining funny movie to watch...check it out!

Martin rulezzz.......2007-01-27

This film is a very funny film and if you like Martin Lauwrence it really worth watching.

This certainly is one of the funniest Martin's movies, it really is a quality film which will make you snigger with its diverse cop/robber characteristics. this is one of those films where you could certainly watch it again just for laughs.

This movie will make you laugh and relax at the same time. Nice watch.

Rip Off.......2007-01-22

There was no dvd in the case when it arrived, even though the packaging had not been tampered with. i want a refund.

Dat's my boy! Martin is Brilliant!!!.......2006-07-10

Awesome movie! This one really shines! I love the pair up with Martin and Luke Wilson. A great matchup. This is one of my favorite movies to put up on my 55 Inch HD Wide Screen, with the surround sound system pumpin'!!! I love the special features, and all the music videos. This movie rocks! I'll edit this later, but for now, it rocks!!!

TERRIBLE!.......2006-04-11

This movie SUX! Martin Lawerence isn't funny at all, all he does is make vulgar jokes and shout profanity constantly! The movie has no funny parts at all and pushes the PG-13 rating to it's limits. It stinks, don't rent or buy this movie!

Bad Boys
A cheerfully over-the-top action film, Bad Boys is notable chiefly for the rapport between its two stars, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, as two Miami cops on the trail of a drug kingpin as they try to protect a witness (Tea Leoni). Smith is the swinging bachelor and Lawrence the family man, and both must juggle their personal lives as they baby-sit the one chance they have to recover a stolen drug shipment, save their jobs, and take down the drug dealer. While the film is almost always implausible and its story is something seen many times before, director Michael Bay (The Rock) keeps things moving stylishly and at a feverish pace, as Smith and Lawrence prove themselves a terrific comic pairing. Their odd couple banter flies at a faster clip than the bullets and explosions, and becomes the best reason to see this hyperbolic but entertaining action flick. --Robert Lane

Good movie.......2006-06-03

This movie is filled with stunts and good actors. I would definitely recommend this movie as a date movie. This movie will get your attention and keep it until the end of the movie. I would consider this the best acting for both actors in their career

Best Cop Movie Ever.......2000-09-13

Totally the best action movie I have ever seen! This movie has everything. Some of the best lines I have ever heard were in this film. It is funny and action packed as well. It has an excellent plot, and great casting, I don't think that the director could have done a better job. I loved it!!!

Don't Wait for the Collector's Edition.......2000-08-02

This version of Bad Boys has a lot more extra's than the collectors edition and that edition is missing 30 mins of footage

an excellent movie - great actors and humor !.......2000-06-13

I really enjoy Bad Boys because Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are very cool and funny. Michael Bay knows very well how to film Miami and cars chases ! I have seen BAD BOYS many times and each time it is a real pleasure. You'll love the movie, you'll love the music... I don't regret to have this 2 DVD-set bought !

National Security
Although it's enjoyable as a brainless diversion, National Security is one of those forgettable entertainments that denies its own considerable potential. It's a police action comedy in the mold of Beverly Hills Cop, tailored to the buddy-flick formula and laced with racial tensions of the post-Rodney King era. It's set in Los Angeles, where dedicated cop Hank (Steve Zahn) does jail time for allegedly beating Earl (Martin Lawrence), whose only real assailant was an overzealous bumblebee. As fate and lazy screenwriting would have it, the two adversaries reunite as security guards, teaming up to crack a team of violent smugglers led by bleached-blonde Eric Roberts (further proof that this movie's got nothing new to offer). Routine stunts distract from the comedy's mostly untapped resource: Lawrence pointedly riffs on racial profiling, and his prolific ad-libs play well against Zahn's by-the-book straight man. If their partnership had been allowed to develop more believably, National Security might have been more than a blip on the box-office radar. --Jeff Shannon

Money Train
This attempt to reunite the stars of White Men Can't Jump will most likely be remembered as the movie that allegedly inspired a number of copycat arsons in the New York subway system. In other words, the movie itself is too perfunctory to be remembered for any other reason. Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes share their established chemistry as a pair of stepbrothers who work the subway detail as undercover detectives in the NYPD. Woody's a compulsive gambler with a huge debt problem to contend with, and he's also competing with his brother for the attentions of their new and beautiful partner (Jennifer Lopez), who's been assigned to join their investigation of the subway crimes. They're also supposed to guard the daily money train (so named because it contains each day's worth of subway fares), but Woody gets the bright idea that it might be the solution to his money woes. What follows is standard-issue action fare for the mid-1990s--lots of violence, excessive profanity, and attempts at witty banter between the costars to make it all seem more entertaining than it really is. You'd need to be a serious Harrelson, Snipes, or Lopez fan to add this movie to your collection. For anyone else, one viewing ought to be enough. --Jeff Shannon
