Synopsis Blue Streak




Miles Logan (played by Martin Lawrence ) is a jewel thief who, along with some accomplices, steals a $17 million diamond in Los Angeles. Things go awry during the robbery when one accomplice wants the diamond all for himself and Logan has to hide the diamond at a construction site. Logan is arrested and spends two years in prison. After serving time, Logan heads back to the spot where he hid the diamond only to find that the construction site was the location of a new police headquarters. Logan scopes the place out by becoming a pizza deliveryman, then poses as a detective transferring from another division. He is teamed up with naive detective Carlson (played by Wilson) and is sent out on multiple police investigations. As farfetched as his fake resume is, he is promoted to Lead Detective of the Burglary Division. Logan eventually recovers the diamond but the accomplice that helped him steal the diamond is hot on his trail. Logan must continue to fool the police and his former accomplice in order to get away. At the end, Detective Carlson discovers Miles Logan's identity as a criminal posing as an officer. However, he discovers this after a car chase led Logan across the border to Mexico, where he is out of the LAPD's and the FBI's jurisdiction.


The reason i like this film is that it is a action film crossed with comedy and a really good actor (Martin lawrence) the things he does to try and get a dimond back is funny eg.. when Miles Logan (Martin lawrence) walks into the police department dressed as a pizza guy to try and get entry to the up stairs deparment of the police station. The studio that made the film is columbia pictures. The film was shot on location in California. The prime shooting spot was Sony Pictures Studios which is located in Culver City, California..
