Blue Streak Blu-ray
Sony Pictures | 1999 | 94 mins | Rated PG-13 | Nov 18, 2008
Blue Streak(1999)Action | Comedy | Crime | Thriller     Master jewel thief Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence, 'Life', 'Bad Boys') has a big problem. A $20 million dollar problem. Recently released from prison for the botched heist of a huge diamond, he's anxious to retrieve the hot rock which he hid at a construction site two years earlier. Unfortunately, his hiding place is now at the center of a recently completed high-security police precinct. Posing as a detective, and partnered with straight laced rookie Carlson (Luke Wilson, 'Home Fries', 'Bottle Rocket'), Miles utilizes his criminal expertise and inadvertently rises up the ranks, winning the respect of his fellow "boys in blue." Powered by a hot soundtrack with music by Jay-Z, Foxy Brown and Tyrese featuring Heavy D, 'Blue Streak' is a hilarious action-comedy from director Les Mayfield ('Flubber', 'Encino Man').

The good stuff; the print master is in pretty good shape with only the occasional appearance of specks, marks and scratches. Sharpness, detail and fine detail were for the most part above average, with some scenes looking softer than others. I did detect some edge enhancement, mostly at moderate levels and only in a few scenes. I also found some noise in some frames, but nothing to really cause concern. Colors looked warm, nicely saturated with no smearing or chroma noise. Flesh tones looked natural with no “rosy red” faces to be found. While this is an above average release in terms of picture quality, there were enough issues to keep it from the being the best. Good but not great release from Sony Pictures. Blue Streak Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Blue Streak features a English, French and Portuguese 5.1 Dolby TrueHD encoded soundtracks that are pretty typical for an early nineties production. Dialog is always clear and intelligible and never swallowed by the music or effects. This is a pretty front centric mix, so the surrounds are only used to “open up” a few scenes, but are largely silent throughout the movie. While the LFE is occasionally used, there is nothing in it under 40 Hz according to my RTA’s. It is used mostly for the music, as the bass for the effects is largely in the mains, and not very deep there either. There are nice car passing pans in the front speakers, but that is the height of the dimensionality of this mix. This is a decent mix, but not any special in any way.
