Leave your thoughts about Blue Streak.
| USA TodayAndy SeilerA rather witty, streetwise comedy/action movie with a lot going for it. |
| TNT RoughCutMatt KelseyApart from Lawrence's goofing, Blue Streak isn't much of a movie. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThe plot is formula all the way, but Lawrence has found a way to incorporate the physical techniques of the great silent stars with his standup comic's arsenal, and it's a pleasure to watch him at work. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA Martin Lawrence performance that deserves comparison with Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, with a touch of Mel Gibson's zaniness in the midst of action. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanLawrence seems trapped in his jug-eared, slightly clownish nervousness, like a sidekick suddenly shoved into the spotlight. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisNo one here is competent enough to reach even stupid buddy-comedy heights. |
| Film.comSean MeansA by-the-numbers action-comedy that is greatly enlivened by Lawrence's pugnacious, fast-mouthed style. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakIn the end, the comedian makes the movie seem better than it really is. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenBlue Streak, loaded with fast-paced, car-chase scenes, is no model of subtle or especially witty dialogue but Lawrence brings in the howls whenever he pulls off one of his many impersonations. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesIt's an inconsequential movie that you'll enjoy while watching but forget completely by the time you get to the parking lot. |
