      It isn't particularly subtle or original. But it's a good-natured late-summer romp fueled by Lawrence's manic shtick.

      San Francisco Chronicle

      Apart from Lawrence's goofing, Blue Streak isn't much of a movie.

      New York Daily News

      The plot is formula all the way, but Lawrence has found a way to incorporate the physical techniques of the great silent stars with his standup comic's arsenal, and it's a pleasure to watch him at work.

      Village Voice

      The contortional physical shtick familiar from Lawrence's sitcom, laden with a dollop of Three Stooges violence, should keep the boys happy.

      The New York Times

      The buoyancy is only intermittent.

      Miami Herald

      The story is stale, action uninspired, pacing lackadaisical. The whole production looks a little cut-rate, too.

      Chicago Reader

      The usual valorizing of guns and vigilante justice and tedious action sequences to begin and end the picture.

      Time

      Not a bad concept, and Martin Lawrence is appealing. Unfortunately, the writers have no gift for comic writing.
