Roger Ebert, At the Movies: Assembled with style. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Still, the movie is pretty bad. It's Rush Hour meets 48 Hours meets Bad Boys except this time around there's only one bad boy and the script and direction are subpar. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Most of the film is just Mr. Lawrence goofing around. Read more
Barbara Shulgasser, Chicago Tribune: Unimaginative. Read more
Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times: Read more
Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle: Blue Streak falls victim to bad cliches. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Lawrence seems trapped in his jug-eared, slightly clownish nervousness, like a sidekick suddenly shoved into the spotlight. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Lawrence has become involved in a film that makes us acutely embarrassed for him. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: Apart from Lawrence's goofing, Blue Streak isn't much of a movie and its formula of stunts, anti-authority humor and a chase-and-crash finale is predictable enough to be depressing. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: In the wake of a summer of capers and cons, Blue Streak arrives as a dull afterthought and a sorry vehicle for the comic expression of Martin Lawrence. Read more
