Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

This movie takes a lot of delight in being more psychologically complex than it has to be. It contains fights and shootouts and big chase scenes, but they're all firmly centered on who the characters are and what they mean to one another. Read full review

Sheila Benson

A love of the world of movies permeates the first-class, crackling excitement of F/X, giving a rare dimension to this thriller. Read full review

Jay Scott

In the hallowed Hollywood tradition of mindless flash, F/X turns the suspension of disbelief into airy entertainment. [7 Feb 1986, p.D3]

Gene Siskel

F/X turns into a dazzling series of deceptions that border on being so topsy-turvy that one almost becomes frustrated with being fooled. But the script of Robert T. Megginson and Gregory Fleeman managed to stay on the right side of credibility and good humor enough of the time so that some rather obvious plot holes can be forgiven. Read full review

Staff [Not Credited]

Basic premise here is so strong that it proves well-nigh indestructable, even in the face of numerous implausibilities, some silly dialogue and less-than-great casting in secondary roles. Read full review

Vincent Canby

The movie, which looks as if it had been made on an A-picture budget, has a lot of the zest one associates with special-effects-filled B-pictures. Read full review

Bill Cosford

F/X doesn't have the surprises when it needs them. [8 Feb 1986, p.C7]
