Welcome back to THE BEST MOVIE YOU NEVER SAW! What would happen if a horror movie special effects artist was framed for murder? That's the question F/X (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F/X) (1986), a movie I absolutely loved as a child of the eighties asks in this week's edition of "The Best Movie You Never Saw". Bryan Brown stars as Rollie Tyler, a VFX guru who does a job for the government but then finds himself framed. With a ragged cop (the late Brian Dennehy (https://x.com/gamesyouloved/status/1314665242085949442)) on his trail, Tyler has no choice but to open up his bag of tricks and go to war with the organization that wants him dead.
