FX: Murder by Illusion stars Bryan Brown as Rollie Tyler, an Australian Special Effects man living and working in the US who finds himself with an unusual client: The Justice Department who want to use his talents to stage a fake assassination, a task that will not be easy.
I really enjoyed FX, it had some great effects work (no pun intended), a no nonsense script that got right to the heart of the matter and used each minute of its running time usefully and some great performances, especially by Brown who anchors the film effortlessly and you really get on his side when he goes on the run and I also really liked the performances by Dennehy and the late Jerry Orbach.
But I have to talk more about the script as not only does it function as a great thriller but also with its imaginative use of special effects from the great Bear he has at the front of his workshop to the shootout that opens the film and down to the prosthetic work which looks so real, if this movie were made now it would look ridiculous and have none of the imagination or realism behind it.
So yeah, I loved watching this movie and would highly recommend it to anyone, 4 out of 5.
