Watch The Specialist For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Memorable, crazy movie

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The story of the movie has Stallone stars as Ray Quick, a former CIA bomb expert now retired in Miami after an operation against a South American drug lord went horribly wrong, resulting in the death of a child. Ray is coaxed out of retirement by May Munro,played by Stone, to help her get revenge on the powerful organized crime family -- headed up by Joe Leon and his son Tomas -- that killed her parents years before. In the meantime, Ray's former partner Ned Trent is on the Leon family payroll and is seeking his own kind of revenge on Ray. As Ray executes Leon's soldiers one by one, his attraction to May boils over into a steamy encounter in the shower - which the primary reason why one may view the movie, a prelude to an explosive finale.What keeps the film going is a balance between the incredible explosions (one of which allows a hotel floor to disengage itself from its structural base) and the superb acting of James Woods, who seems to be working as some kind of CIA spook with authority over the local police but is really on the pad of a crime boss, played shrilly by a balding Rod Steiger, who is guilty of badly overacting. Woods does what he can to keep the disparate elements of an off-balanced movie like this one on track. To his credit, he manages to give more than a note of authenticity even to the scenes that defy logic and analysis. The relationship between Woods and Stallone on a reverse-buddy level is far more of note that the hoped for sexual sizzle between Stallone and Stone.Overall rating: 7 out 10.

Stallone,Stone,Woods,Roberts and Steiger.This movie can't be bad.It was way better than 5.4 rating. Good story, nice characters, OK acting, and nice ending.Guilty pleasure movie.See it,you wan't regret.Stallone is pretty much ultimate badass. Anti hero with some tragic past, Stone is beautiful heroine, Roberts is absolutely creepy ,Steiger as usual. But best performance is easily from Woods.And hell yeah this is movie where Sharon Stone looks best.By far.

The Specialist is an diverting 90's action flick. It's set in beautiful Miami, with lots of explosions, comprehensible twists and a pinch of erotic.Sly Stallone did his job just as well as clean-limbed actress Sharon Stone - not outstanding performances, but solid. James Woods however nailed this movie with his acting. Especially the scenes between him and Quick (Stallone).If you're looking for an unchallenging late night action thriller, this movie fits just perfect.

I love this film. It's actually one of my favourites. Sharon Stone is stunning, brilliant and brings convincing anger to the role of May Munro - the young girl who's grown up and out to avenge her parents. Stallone, whilst the big monosyllabic hero, he's got depth and personality and for my money, it's one of his best roles. Eric Roberts and James Woods make up the main cast and are both vicious and determinedly broken and dastardly. The soundtrack is amazing, I bought the CD, and it's a glamorous attractively shot film. Again Stone shines in a wardrobe to die for.The only problem with the film, is that it's a little on the improbably/cheesy and overacted side - especially Roberts and Woods... they're a bit hammy. However, I've watched it many times, and it still stands up as a good film and hasn't aged that much (except scrunchie-spotting, lots of cigarette smoking and some male fashion faux pas) and certainly is still very entertaining. It's quite dark, and with very adult themes, but there's some real heart in this film and I think the chemistry between Stone and Stallone is very sexy. Love this film, and love the passion of revenge that is portrays.
