497e39180f Ray Quick is a former CIA explosives expert turned bomber-for-hire living in Miami, Florida. Ray&#39;s latest client is a beautiful woman named May Munro, May hires Ray to assassinate Miami mobsters who murdered her parents when she was a child. Agreeing, Ray eliminates the three mobsters one-by-one and blows them up. But things go from bad to worse, one of the mobsters Ray has killed is Tomas Leon, the son of Miami crime boss Joe Leon and Ned Trent, a vicious and crooked Ex CIA agent (Ray&#39;s former college) is working for the Miami mob and was Tomas&#39;s bodyguard, has been assigned by Joe to find the bomber-for-hire who killed his son and his two employees. Ray becomes distrustful and suspicious of May, and suspects May has set him up and is working for Ned who is out to get his revenge on Ray. May Munro is a woman obsessed with getting revenge on the people who murdered her parents when she was still a girl. She hires Ray Quick, a retired explosives expert to kill her parent&#39;s killers. When Ned Trent, embittered ex-partner of Quick&#39;s is assigned to protect one of Quick&#39;s potential victims, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues. Although Stallone was already a big budget Hollywood star with many a title under his belt with Sharon Stone who also had a few films (most noticeably &#39;Basic Instinct&#39;) going for her and James Woods, again, with some reasonably successful outings (most notably in my opinion a &#39;Simpsons&#39; episode), &#39;The Specialist&#39; fails to live up to its talent hype and attempta film noir come action film.<br/><br/>What struck me upon looking this film up after seeing it was the director. He&#39;d had hardly any experience previous to this film and thinking back to the film itself; it&#39;s no wonder it really turned out the way it did. A big budget and a big cast with a screenplay that wasn&#39;t terrible probably demanded a bigger and better director. I could kick around a few names like &#39;John Woo&#39; but I won&#39;t get too into that.<br/><br/>Fatally, The Specialist doesn&#39;t do right what it&#39;s supposed to do right. The camera work is bad (I actually spotted one instance of camera shake in this film), the fight scenes are poorly choreographed and badly executed, the dialogue is a bit iffy at best and is rather clichéd at times and the stereotypes of Colombian drug lords are laughable. With the action scenes, the extras just sit up waiting to be hit and are poorly put together in a way that you can see Stallone&#39;s next movehe wins the punch-up from a beaten position. The dialogue put across via the recorded phone messages feels forced and they snap back at one another too quickly. The character played by Rod Stieger is a little too stereotypical and his pronunciation of the word &#39;you&#39; like &#39;jew&#39; can only be taken seriously for so long before a serious scene involving intense dialogue is broken up by a smirk here and there.<br/><br/>What makes the film also rather cheesy is the editing at some points. Early on in the film, a character threatens Stallone at knife point and asks him a question. Cut to a reaction shot of a silent Stallone and immediately, the character asks the question again not even giving Stallone the time it takes to blink to reply. This was very noticeable and good editing,they say, is un-noticeable. One other incident is where Stallone sneaks up on a pistol wielding guard during a hotel evacuation and knocks him out from behind in the lobby area. We keep on the same camera and panhe runs away. From this, we see that for the entire time, people (extras) have been running right past, merely feet from the assault and don&#39;t even batter an eyelid at what just happenedStallone runs off in the OPPOSITE direction.<br/><br/>Every action film has its effects and this films&#39; was poor. The blatant blue screen effect of the water getting closer and closer via the windowthe suite breaks off the side of the hotel and falls to the seaa guy waves frantically at the camera crashing towards him without trying to get away really brought out a long shake of the head from me. The fact when one of the bombs went off in the room, one guy fell down before the other was also laughable. These are the action scenes of the film and should be suspenseful and nerve-wracking not humorous, instead.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re looking for a decent Stallone action-based film from the mid-nineties, avoid this and see &#39;Assassins&#39; instead. That film&#39;s particularly large cast rivals this one and the direction and script are a lot better. The Specialist is one of those underrated movies, and I&#39;m talking from a critic&#39;s point of view. It&#39;s a super exciting flick, cause it&#39;s different from a lot of other sorts around that time, the thrilling climax almost bringing shades of the finale in The Professional. Stone, a woman controlled by a mafia family, responsible for killing her parents, enlists the help of CIA bomb specialist, Stallone to take them out one by one, Steiger saved for last. This is perfect for Stallone, playing another loner type character who&#39;s methods of assassination are dangerously impressive, Roberts demise for one. Woods who used to work alongside Stallone in the bomb disposal business had a falling out, when Woods went AWOL on a job. Woods, sacked from the agency is now working for Steigerwellthe police department recognizes the work where the scene is set for the re acquaintance of two arch rivals. Featuring some nice broads in lingerie, The Specialist is fun all the way, where it&#39;s great to Stonea revenge driven woman, who falls for Stallone, the chemistry between em, almost void. Stallone, mightwell been a mummy in that briefly erotic sex scene. The baddies are great, Roberts almost mirroring that scene in Final Analysis, when he confronts Stallone, only he isn&#39;t smiling. God knows why this film got so much flack. Director Luisa followed this up, with the blockbuster Anaconda.
