Stallone and Stone have phone sex most of the time and suffer from excessive spray-on tan.

Eric Roberts looks like a porn reject.

Rod Steiger sports the worst Latino accent ever put to film.

James Woods is so bad he's good. In a bad way. 'Cause he's an evil bastard. In a good way.

Stuff explodes.

The Specialist is a film that want to be a bit of everything. It tries to be a typical Stallone actioner, a classy suspense thriller, an over the top crime drama, an erotic sex picture, a time capsule of the early '90's and so on. In some parts, it comes off as a strange mixture that feels slow and hard to like. But luckily, in most parts, it's an entertaining thriller, with some cool explosions and a couple of good performances.

i'm sorry, i realy like this film, even when i know i shouldn't. probably because i had a thing for sharon stone in the 90's... well, didn't everyone?

Basada en una serie de novelitas de acción masculina, The Specialist se queda como un simpático thriller-erótico (ya saben ese género para que Marge y Homer salgan contentos del cine), en ocasiones ridículo, pero por algún motivo encantador.

Le queda a uno la duda de como habría sido esto si Mario Van Peebbles hubiera estado al mando de la nave, lo hubiera dirigido Fincher, como quería Stallone, o el papel del especialista hubiera caído en manos de Warren Beaty... what if's de Hollywood.

Destaco la actuación de un pérfido James Woods, que hace que Al Pacino parezca un actor comedido, en su papel de asesino de la CIA echado a perder, la fantástica banda sonora de John Barry (quizá el principal motivo por el que me gusta esta película?) y Sharon Stone sacándole partido a sus años de mito erótico.

There are many great things in this world and among them are James Woods and explosions. This film has both. Not a mindless action film since attention was paid to the story. Even though it tried to be deep it was fairly predictable, but overall the movie was satisfying.

You can't go wrong with James Woods, can you? Unless you're Sean Young. I guess he probably owes her a bunch of flowers or something.

A classic example of a film looking good on paper but completely failing to live up to its potential. But it does have a certain 'so-bad-it's-good' quality about it that keeps making you watch it. Stallone is completely miscast and sleepwalks through the whole thing, Sharon Stone has great tits and not a lot else, Eric Roberts looks like he has been beamed straight from the set of a 1982 soft-porn film, James Woods chews the scenery in every scene he's in and the sex scene between Stallone and Stone is about as sexually charged as an episode of Hetty Wainthropp Investigates. Terrible but somehow quite good.

That good I forgot what happened in this film I had to watch it again in less than a year to make sure I had seen it, so not worth a double watch. I had probably seen it before this as well but no idea.
