When a jewel thief becomes a detective to retrieve a diamond from a police station

The 80s and 90s was the golden age for buddy cop films in Hollywood, with hits such as Beverly Hills Cop, Rush Hour, Bad Boys, Lethal Weapon, and 48 Hours revered as some of the best in the genre. But one film that may be slightly lesser known these days is the 1999 film Blue Streak and that's the Lost and Found film for today's episode. I'm your host Nikhil.

The film stars Martin Lawrence in the lead as Miles Logan, a jewel thief, who is forced to hide a diamond worth $17 million in construction sight after a heist goes wrong when one of his crew members betrays him. After spending a few years in jail, Miles returns to retrieve the diamond, only to discover that the construction site has become a new police precinct.

Desperate to get his hands on the diamond, Miles forges documents and joins the precinct as a detective. However, before he is able to locate the diamond he is involuntarily thrust into several ongoing cases and quickly earns a reputation as an unconventional cop who gets the job done. This endears him to his colleagues and superiors, thanks to his knowledge about the world of crime. But with the window of opportunity to find the diamonds quickly disappearing, Miles, who goes by the name of Detective Malone, must think out of the box to find a way to grab hold of the diamond.

This comedy buddy cop film also stars Luke Wilson, Dave Chappelle, and Peter Greene in important roles.

You can watch this film on Netflix.
