Movie Reviews of The Specialist
Movie Review: Stallone Can Make Anything Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie should be better than what it is. You have Rod Steiger, Eric Roberts and James Woods. These are three very good actors. You have Sharon Stone looking incredibly hot and at her peak of sexiness. And then you have... STALLONE. This peice of wood is the only person I know that can make a nude sex scene with Sharon Stone boring. He is so gassed up and that his lack of body fat has his face looking like a skeleton. The guy is a horrible actor. He was good in the first Rocky and man... he sucks in everything he is in (and don't tell me about Copland. He was horrible in that too).
Watch Basic Instinct, Star 80, Pope of Greenwhich Village, or Runaway Train, Salvador and The Pawnbroker or Capone. This movie is just really bad. Why? Two words... STA LLONE.
Summary of The Specialist
A woman hires an ex-CIA explosives expert to get rid of the mobsters who murdered her parents.Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: R
Release Date: 14-SEP-2004
Media Type: DVD
Just awful enough to qualify as someone's guilty pleasure, this convoluted thriller was supposed to cash in on the supposedly sexy teaming of Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone (then hot from her ample exposure in Basic Instinct), but their naked groping in a shower provides one of the film's unintentionally funny highlights. Ray Quick (Stallone) is a former CIA bomb expert whose former colleague (James Woods) is now in cahoots with a Miami drug cartel led by kingpin Joe Leon (Rod Steiger), who chews the scenery while his son Tomas (Eric Roberts) proceeds with a greedy hidden agenda. May Munro (Stone) hires Quick to kill off Roberts. The Specialist, featuring lots of explosions and redeemed by a dandy role for James Woods, is best suited for ardent Stallone and Stone fans. --Jeff Shannon
