How to use special effects to catch and trap a villain... Fun.
This is an enjoyable 80's neo-noir thriller.
An inventive thriller with a clever premise, blending special effects and crime drama. Well-paced and suspenseful, a must watch.
Crime&mystery movie. Good cast interesting plot. Great representation of 80s action movies
An interesting and original concept that just isnt done well. The point of the effects guy using his talents is cool but the effects are bad
Decent 80s action thriller movie, good fun but dated. Worth a watch
Very underrated 80's action movie needs more love
A favourite from when I was a kid. a simple premise with some really fun sequences. It has a pretty decent twisty thriller plot in there too
A forgotten classic. F/X is a sharp, suspenseful thriller with a unique premise that deserves far more recognition.
Fun enough plot with a couple of major flaws: 1) our hero’s whiplash transformation to killer and 2) his assistant’s abysmal acting.
