Top Critics Reviews

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

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.

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

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