Dare to be duped! The world of movie make-believe meets the gritty New York crime scene in this taut and clever suspense movie. Bryan Brown (Cocktail) and Brian Dennehy (Romeo + Juliet) command the heart-pounding action in the first-class, crackling excitement of F/X.
Rollie Tyler (Brown) is the best special effects artist in showbiz. But this time it's not the studios seeking him out... it's the Justice Department. His assignment: to stage the assassination of an important underworld witness. And after he pulls the illusion off, making the informant disappear - Rollie is dumbfounded to learn that he's being pinned for the murder! Double-crossed and now hunted by those who hired him, Rollie quickly learns that he can trust no-one... and that the only thing left that can save his life is his unequalled mastery of illusion! |
