CRITICS OF "F/X"

F5 (Wichita, KS)

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

March 10, 2004

Time Out

The action sequences are efficiently handled, but look elsewhere for psychological or emotional insight.

January 26, 2006

Resource

TV Guide

A competent and unpretentious entertainment.

April 09, 2008

Resource

Film4

It looks dated and shoddy now, never taking itself as seriously as the darker sequel.

April 09, 2008

Resource

FulvueDrive-in.com

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.

February 17, 2006

Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers

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

September 10, 2006

San Francisco Examiner

A fun, clever little thriller.

January 17, 2003

Combustible Celluloid

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

June 13, 2015

Resource

Variety

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

April 09, 2008

Resource

New York Times

The film is as much a demonstration of various kinds of special effects as it is about them.

May 20, 2003

Chicago Sun-Times

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.
