Critics Consensus

Martin Lawrence lends his comedic touch, but the movie isn't much more than standard action-comedy fare.

...Blue Streak is simply unable to overcome the scenery-chewing excess of Lawrence's hopelessly incompetent turn.

Once again critics on Rotten Tomatoes lack the understanding of what a comedy is supposed.to be. But this film here is one of the best films of this genre. It's.fun and memorable.

This film was okay. Martin Lawrence tries his best to make the film work with his comedic timing and energy, which is mostly good, but others in the film let him down. The supporting cast feels uninspiring and forgettable. The plot of the film is predictable and stereotypical, making it difficult for the movie to stand out and be memorable within its genre. Despite this, it is still an enjoyable film for a random night's watch. Perhaps the film could have been more interesting if it had been played more seriously. At the end of the day, it is just a fun '90s comedy film that could have been better.
