Chuck Norris, whose action dramas are often unintentionally funny, edges into spoof territory with Firewalker, and the result is inadvertently dull. It's a curious cycle, a kind of primordial rhythm of bad moviemaking.[2 Dec 1986, p.B4]
When Gosnell's script does wander into some emotionally complex territory--in the
depths of the jungle, Max encounters an old army buddy from Vietnam (John
Rhys-Davies)--Thompson does rouse himself momentarily to provide some
sequences of unexpected sensitivity, but he quickly returns to his dull,
professional indifference. [21 Nov 1986, p.L]
Firewalker is a free-form anthology of familiar images from the works of Steven Spielberg, subjected to a new process that we could call discolorization. All of the style and magic are gone, leaving only the booby-trapped temples, the steaming jungle and such lines as, if I remember correctly, "Witch, woman, harlot - I've been called them all!"
