- The opening is admired despite questions about the remote bar’s location, clientele and doomed bartender.
- The simultaneous attacks on Jack and the prison bus are praised; comparisons distinguish deliberate attacks from transport crashes.
- The hospital and exploding-car stretch, loan calls and teasing of a traffic cop let Murphy sustain a run of jokes.
- The Iceman insults, pickpocket recognition and bar shooting are enjoyed, though the band is disliked.
- The hotel shootout feels unusually desperate; the window fall is admired and dumpster landings are questioned.
- The fire stunt and motorcycles landing in theater aisles are admired as practical action.
- The prison threat and glass punch are especially frightening.
- The final club shootout is enjoyed despite the Iceman reveal and the confusing unused vest setup.
- The motocross fire stunt receives a special mention, but Murphy’s comic stretch is the preferred scene. — Chris Ryan
