Critic Reviews of "F/X"
VarietyApril 09, 2008As contrived and plot-hole ridden as it is, F/X still works quite effectively as a crowd-pleasing popcorn picture.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006The action sequences are efficiently handled, but look elsewhere for psychological or emotional insight.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The film is as much a demonstration of various kinds of special effects as it is about them.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000The irony of F/X, which is a very good thriller indeed, is that it avoids the pitfall of so many thrillers; it doesn't degenerate into a mindless display of special effects.
Combustible CelluloidJune 13, 2015[A] first-rate thriller. Robert Mandel directs with a winning energy, never getting too slick, but remaining interested in the human angle.
Film4April 09, 2008It looks dated and shoddy now, never taking itself as seriously as the darker sequel.
Dispatch-Tribune NewspapersSeptember 10, 2006Fun cat and mouse mystery-adventure with fun special effects angle.
FulvueDrive-in.comFebruary 17, 2006A clever, lightning-paced thriller about a Tom Savini-style special effects artist who becomes a pawn in the scheme of some rogue government agents. A surprise modest hit in 1986.
F5 (Wichita, KS)March 10, 2004A well-respected thriller; its coldness left me out.
San Francisco ExaminerJanuary 17, 2003A fun, clever little thriller.
