The life of Miles Logan, a jewel thief, who prepares for the biggest robbery of a huge diamond, has been changed, as in doing so, he has been arrested by the police, the thing that leads him to hide the diamond in an old building. After he has released from prison, he shocked by finding out that the old building is Los Angeles new police office.
Character is precisely what's missing in Blue Streak, with Lawrence coming off as little more than thinly defined cliches of his manic and occasionally hilarious self, and his co-stars nothing more than bland dupes and paper-thin stereotypes.

Pleasant diversion with lots of silly fun for teens.

As an action comedy, Blue Streak offers little freshness on either front.

The blatant disregard for reality might have been excusable if any of the execution was actually funny.

Still, the movie is pretty bad. It's Rush Hour meets 48 Hours meets Bad Boys except this time around there's only one bad boy and the script and direction are subpar.
The resumes of the minds behind it almost define Hollywood formula mediocrity.

Apart from Lawrence's goofing, Blue Streak isn't much of a movie and its formula of stunts, anti-authority humor and a chase-and-crash finale is predictable enough to be depressing.
