Good old Hollywood, they really know
what to give the movie going public don't they. Good old
action/buddy/comedy flicks to keep us entertained.
In case your wondering, I'm being
sarcastic, in actual fact Hollywood will throw any old piece of
tripe our way in order to make some money, that's not the sad
thing.... The sad thing is we actually pay to watch this crap, so
until we start waking up they will keep making pure crap.
The story premise sounds good but
that's it. A jewel thief hides
a diamond he has stolen in the air vent of a building under
construction. 2 years later he gets out of the joint to retrieve
the rock, but there is one slight problem, the building is a
police station. Now the only way he can get it back is to fake
himself as a cop while along the way solving crimes easily.
From here on it's a standard cliché
driven movie to the end, this was obviously written by a chimp
with a typewriter. I can't believe Martin Lawrence acted in this
crap he's capable of so much more.

|
As usual a crap movie gets a wonderful
reference quality transfer. Every last detail is so perfectly
rendered it almost makes me weep with joy.
Blue Streak is framed at 1:85:1 and is 16:9
enhanced.
This is an single sided, dual
layer disc.

Again a wonderful soundtrack encoded in
Dolby Digital 5.1 in English, German & Hungarian. The sound steering
in this movie is awesome and shows great depth and quality. The dialog was
always easy to listen to.

| EXTRAS |
|
For 40 smackers this one is a little light
on but much better than Warner Bros.
Theatrical Trailer: Dolby Digital
5.1 sound, 1:33:1 video. A standard trailer, seen better.
2 Making of Featurettes: Both run
for about 20 minutes and are quite informative.
3 Music Videos: Standard
music video fare, not much cop.
The menus are also quite good on this
disc.

| FINAL THOUGHTS |
| Hmm, crap movie but a
wonderfully outstanding disc. Lets call it even shall we. |
