Absolutely Brilliant!
I see a lot of people don't like it because it isn't realistic. Who cares! It is a comedy not a character analyzing drama.And as a comedy it works just fine. We get a very creative story and a lot of laughs thanks to it as the plot gets along. The actors are also very good. I loved Martin Lawrence as the main character. He is perfect at it and keeps us laughing the way he delivers hilariously written jokes. It was also a pleasure to watch Dave Chappelle in it. He has a smaller part but is hilarious whenever he appears on stage.Really recommend it to other comedy fans who don't care too much about reality but just about getting some good fun.
Miles Logan (played by Martin Lawrence) is a jewel thief in the midst of a multi-million dollar job in pursuit of a large diamond stored in a bank. But the plan quickly falls apart as one of his partners turns on him and the police are hot on his trail. He ditches the diamond in the air ducts of a building being built and must return for it after his prison sentence. Little does he that this building is a police station! What is Miles to do? He must sneak in as a cop!Good grief! This is in that late 90's/early aughts period where we were under the impression that not only was Martin Lawrence extremely funny but we thought he could prop up an entire movie as it's star! (For more evidence, see "Black Knight". This movie is atrocious. Lawrence's performance as a master jewel thief who enjoys wisecracks and overly gesticulating is abysmal.Unfortunately for us, the supporting cast is not helping us out either. Luke Wilson is a piece of milktoast as Lawrence's green- behind-the-ears detective partner. The only funny bits come from Dave Chappelle who is criminally underutilized in this one.Very seldomly do the jokes land and I was cringing at a lot of the bits. Lawrence's "Pizza Delivery Guy" character was one of the most painful things I've had to sit through in a very long time. I shudder at the thought.Conclusion: An unfunny movie that has become even more unfunny over time.
Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) is a jewel thief who hits the big score, a diamond worth $17 million. However his fellow thief Deacon (Peter Greene) doesn't want to share. Deacon escapes from the cops, but Miles is caught. Before being caught, he stashes the diamond in the vent of an unfinished building next door. Little did he know, that building would become an LAPD police station. Two years later, he gets out of prison, and tries to retrieve the loot from right under the police's nose.Martin Lawrence is allowed to go off without restraint, and it's all the worst for it. He's not a likable guy when he does that. The story is basically stupid that requires the viewers not to think. The big question is whether it's funny. The answer is no. His antic gets tiresome. And pairing him up with a clueless Luke Wilson doesn't improve anything. They have no chemistry due to their characters. The funniest part of the movie is Dave Chappelle. I rather have this as a Dave Chappelle movie.
Wow, what a movie, Martin did a great job, right his performance was was absolutely brilliant. Great comedy and wow he does he make all those faces it makes me rock with laughter.The scene where he goes for a pizza delivery as a pizza boy, the look of the hair and the look of the teeth....and the funny dance he dopes in and out of the police station....it was simply outstanding.Great comedy by a great hero....I recommend to all movie lovers who like action/comedy movies. If you are planning to see this movie and you are here to get reviews on this movie, just give it a go and i guarantee that you will not regret after seeing it...
