Critics Consensus

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

A formula picture that never rises above the generic but entertains nevertheless.

1.5/5

A pooped, poorly executed buddy-cop comedy with more cliches than expletives.

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

Absolutely one of the best shot movies of the late 1999 season. A true classic for anyone not vapid and full of themselves. Shot well, better than most anything put out today. 1999s 21 jump street. You critics are lame.

An OK movie that relies a bit too much on Martin Lawrence goofing around and therefore will appeal more to teens than adults.
