F/X Ratings & Reviews
- Richard DavisDecember 2, 2025Definitely an under-rated film. I found this by accident. It's an excellent, novel story, made surprisingly well on a relatively modest budget. It made Bryan Brown. This should definitely be added to your watchlist of you like crime caper / thriller type films.
- hairydemonJune 28, 2025very creaky and dated. even when it came out, sfx fanboys groaned at the idiotic and patently wrong portrayal of an sfx supervisor. it was cringe then, it is even cringier now. it coulda been a contender. but wasn't.
