Blue Streak

(Columbia TriStar)

When the cops catch professional criminal Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) stealing a $20 million diamond, he hides it in a construction site; three years later he emerges from prison to find that the site has become the LAPD's newest precinct. In order to reclaim his booty, Logan has to pose as a cop, and through a zany turn of events he ends up fighting bad guys and solving crimes. Les Mayfield's film has gratuitous wacky characters and a few too many instances of "BAM!" and "Ka-POW!" in Lawrence's dialogue -- but were you expecting this to be the thinking man's movie?
