A fun, clever little thriller.

The action sequences are efficiently handled, but look elsewhere for psychological or emotional insight.
April 09, 2008
It looks dated and shoddy now, never taking itself as seriously as the darker sequel.

A well-respected thriller; its coldness left me out.

A competent and unpretentious entertainment.

As contrived and plot-hole ridden as it is, F/X still works quite effectively as a crowd-pleasing popcorn picture.

The 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.

A 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.

Fun cat and mouse mystery-adventure with fun special effects angle.

[A] first-rate thriller. Robert Mandel directs with a winning energy, never getting too slick, but remaining interested in the human angle.
