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

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.

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.

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

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

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

A fun, clever little thriller.

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.

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