Can a crook go straight without really trying? Jewel thief Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) was being chased by the police after a robbery when he was forced to hide a cache of diamonds, worth $20 million, at a construction site.

Unimaginative.
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.
As an action comedy, Blue Streak offers little freshness on either front.
The film may be routine, but Lawrence is anything but.
Most of the film is just Mr. Lawrence goofing around.
A lifeless farce!

...Blue Streak is simply unable to overcome the scenery-chewing excess of Lawrence's hopelessly incompetent turn.
Whatever number you assign to Beverly Hills Cop, this film scores one notch lower.
Fun and entertaining -- a good time.
Blue 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.
It's an inconsequential movie that you'll enjoy while watching but forget completely by the time you get to the parking lot.
The resumes of the minds behind it almost define Hollywood formula mediocrity.
Miles Logan: Carlson. I've got something to tell you. I'm not from West Covina. I'm from Internal Affairs. "He's a cop that's not."Blue Streak is a likable and entertaining action comedy. No I know what you're thinking. How, it has Martin Lawrence in it? I'll be the first to say that the guy makes a lot of shit and

I think only Martin Lawrence finds Martin Lawrence funny. Maybe if he tried telling an actual joke instead of pulling stupid faces all the time he would be more successful because as far as I can tell, all he does is open one eye wider than the other, tilt his head and shout 'Damn' and that is supposed to be funny.
