Slick fun
“F/X: Murder by Illusion” is a well-written, intriguing film from the pens of Gregory Fleeman and Robert T. Megginson. Their sharp narrative constantly keeps you guessing throughout the 109 minute running time. Special effects (F/X) are always entertaining, as is the cast including Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy, who are always believable, in a clever, quick-witted movie.Robert Mandell never lets anything get out of hand, which he very easily could have given the nature of the film. Original music by “Rocky” composer Bill Conti is also very effective. I am looking forward to seeing the sequel.

Just the right mix!
I remembered seeing this movie shortly before it came out, and thought it was quite entertaining. Now, 35 years later, I finally got around to watching it again, and it was actually better than I remembered. Just the right mix of action, mystery, suspense, and comedy, it’s well worth watching from beginning to end. There aren’t really any lulls in the action; even when the scene switches characters, it doesn’t lose any step. Plus, the effects (of course!) are not just for show, but are an integral part of the plot. Part Sherlock Holmes, part McGyver, part James Bond, part Abbott and Costello… and all a nicely-written and well-acted story.
