Top Critics Reviews

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

Time Out,
26 Jan 2006
fresh:
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.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The film is as much a demonstration of various kinds of special effects as it is about them.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
As contrived and plot-hole ridden as it is, F/X still works quite effectively as a crowd-pleasing popcorn picture.
