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

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

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 competent and unpretentious entertainment.

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.

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

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

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

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