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

Boston Globe

Clint Eastwood's failure to realize his material makes Firefox more sluggish and phlegmatic than it should be.

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

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

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.
