2.0 out of 5 starsCold War cliches on the wing
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 24 April 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I'm not sure whether Firefox is really a guilty pleasure or simply a film I remember as being one. It's certainly overlong and overfamiliar despite its neat Maguffin - Clint Eastwood's flashback-plagued Vietnam vet fighter ace has to steal a state-of-the-art warplane with a thought-controlled weapons system (as long as you remember to think in Russian) from the heart of the Evil Empire - but it has a sort of undemanding Cold War charm that the constant stream of clichés only reinforces. Even the old school model effects in the final chase-and-dogfight section are more fun in their way than modern CGI effects, especially when the Firefox is leaving a wall of water in its wake as it races across the sea or causing fallen snow to fill the air as it passes over the mountains, so it's a shame that much of the last third is played in darkened control rooms rather than the skies.

The Russians, naturally, are mostly played by British actors, albeit in this case actors best known for their sitcoms, which adds a different dimension to their scenes as comically humourless KGB types or lemming-like dissidents only too happy to die for the cause, or incorrigible hams like Freddie Jones who simply look like they SHOULD be in a sitcom. There's even an almost admirable perversity into giving most of the explanatory dialogue in the last half-hour to Klaus Löwitsch, an actor with a shaky grasp of spoken English who sounds like a bumblebee caught in a vacuum cleaner pipe. Not good by any means, but strangely watchable, and Maurice Jarre contributes an enjoyable score from the days before he disappeared entirely into atonal electronics.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsWhy no DVD?
By A Customer on 18 Aug. 2002
Format: VHS Tape Verified Purchase
After recently buying the VHS version of the movie, I knew I was buying a good movie, but I had forgotten how brilliant it was.
Although it is predictable to a certain degree, the way the plot and action unfolds keeps you thoroughly entertained. Clint Eastwood does well in a role that is out of character for him - someone who has to follow orders to the T. The only downside to the movie is the dated special effects. But the music which is used when we first see the 'Firefox' makes up for it by giving the plane a menacing character.
A final word to Warner Bros - judging by the quality - or lack of it - released on DVD from the same period, I cannot see why you guys have not launched a DVD. We are missing it out here.

2.0 out of 5 starsDamn - they've edited the original!
By Phil Deer on 3 Oct. 2003
Format: DVD
Firefox has always been one of my favourite films, and while it's a bit cheesy and jingoistic 20 years on, it is entertaining - especially seeing fine British actors like Nigel Hawthorne (rest his soul!) and Kenneth Colley making a pig's ear of their Russian accents...
However, in this DVD version they've edited out a lot of the best bits - including a lot of the interplay between the politicians and General Vladimirov at Bilyarsk when they are trying to plot the retrieval and destruction of the MiG-31.
I was really disappointed by this, and haven't watched the film again since - though it's comforting to know it's on the shelf.

2.0 out of 5 starsClint Does 80s 007
By Mr. C. Gelderd VINE VOICE on 7 Aug. 2014
Format: Blu-ray
This films looks like it could be an early 80s James Bond movie for Roger Moore. It’s full of the classic espionage-thriller moments for the first 90 minutes; sneak into Russia in disguise avoiding the burly KGB agents on your trail. Rendezvous and befriend your native allies. Infiltrate the enemy base. Steal the top secret fighter jet that could change the world forever in the wrong hands. Escape alive. Take away the humour and charm, replace Roger Moore with Clint Eastwood and throw in a heavy dose of special effects and sci-fi narrative and you have ‘Firefox’.

It never really manages to hit the full heights of excitement you may expect from this, but that’s not necessary a bad thing, it’s just handled in that trademark Eastwood way of steadily developing the story and character relationships and neglecting any large action set pieces until the end. Eastwood doesn’t “do” action on the whole, so this leans more to a Cold War thriller rather than futuristic actioner.

The MiG itself, the “Firefox”, looks demonic and visually great and if you can accept the fantastical properties of mind-controlled weapons and Mach 6, it plays a crucial part in the closing half-hour as Eastwood sits firmly in the cockpit surrounded by flashy computer controls and L.E.D screens as he lets special effects take over for a ‘Star Wars’ meets ‘Top Gun’ blend of ariel dog-fighting action against the Russians. The effects are tolerable for that time, obviously dated now, but it’s not exactly edge-of-your-seat stuff.

Clichéd Russian villains are littered throughout with heavy accents and growling faces as they plot and gurn their nefarious plot to take over the world, and Clint plays the man with a haunted war past who can stop them all.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsThis Ice Thriller is well acted and paces with 007
By A Customer on 28 Jan. 2002
Format: VHS Tape
I enjoyed the film immensely and I can still remember the clip where the firefox takes off from the Iceland base which is hidden in the North Pole. I enjoy Clint Eastwood at the best of times and I think his style in this film was magnificent. The memory lives on and I think any cult movie lovers out there should pick up this film as soon as possible. I think it compares with Nikita in terms of the rush of excitement as the suspense builds, as the viewer you become aware of the great deal of suspense involved in the film, the plot is intricate.
