The Western pursuit and runaway-train chase draw repeated praise for speed and visual ingenuity, while the later world-saving battle is more divisive.

The battles, sea disasters, and final confrontation are often thrilling and immense, but some reviewers find individual melee scenes messy or overbearing.
