Scott Cain Atlanta Journal-Constitution Director-star Clint Eastwood trots out a spy thriller of such complexity that even Five Fingers suddenly seems simplistic. But Clint is a fine storyteller and Firefox makes sense, if you pay attention. Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Bruce McCabe Boston Globe Clint Eastwood's failure to realize his material makes Firefox more sluggish and phlegmatic than it should be. Apr 27, 2018 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Firefox is a slick, muscular thriller that combines espionage with science fiction. The movie works like a well-crafted machine, and it's about a well-crafted machine. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com '...(Firefox is ) literally a fun vehicle for a huge box-office star...' Rated: 3/5 Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Peter Stack San Francisco Examiner Eastwood looks like an automated totem pole, the Russians are portrayed as the Three Stooges, and there's more drama, tension and action in a spoonful of cottage cheese than in this painfully drawn-out affair. Rated: 1/4 Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Michael Ventura L.A. Weekly It feels as though Eastwood the director and producer was trying to stretch himself here, technically, and got caught up in the exercise, forgetting the movie.
