Critic Reviews

  • Tom Keogh, Film.com

    You watch this movie for Lawrence's antics but soon realize he doesn't really involve the audience in his comedy, the way Murphy did in 48Hrs.

  • Barbara Shulgasser, Chicago Tribune

    Unimaginative.

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    Lawrence seems trapped in his jug-eared, slightly clownish nervousness, like a sidekick suddenly shoved into the spotlight.

  • Jim Sullivan, Boston Globe

    Provides a nifty 90-minute escape and more than a few yuks.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    The film may be routine, but Lawrence is anything but.

    Funny comedy about a robber who hides the stolen diamond then finds that they've built a police station where he hid it. He has to pretend to be a cop to get to the diamond.

    Before watching "Blue Streak," I had heard that it wasn't that good of a movie, but I knew that since it has Martin in it that it had to at least have a few funny parts, and I was right. Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) is a jewel thief who just got out of prison. He… More

    Hilarious circumstances, with some really funny moments. Enjoyable with a good comedy plot.
