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

Time Out

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

F5 (Wichita, KS)

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

Film4

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

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.

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.

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

Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers

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

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