The Specialist

Everything OK. Thanks

Love this film to watch never gets boring to keep watching over and over again

Mocked on release for Stallone and Stone's deliberately over-steamy suggestive dialogue ("I hear you...control your explosions...") and Rod Steiger's peculiar 'Cuban' accent, this is actually a pretty enjoyable action thriller full of 'over-the-top' scenes and stylised drama. Set in Miami, Stone's 'May Munro' is determined to recruit Stallone's 'Ray Quick' who is a retired explosive specialist previously employed by the CIA to perform covert assassinations. May's family were killed by local big-time gangsters and she can't shake the need for vengeance. Slowly Ray is drawn in by May's advances, finally intervening when she decides to go after the bad guys personally. Chief among the ne-er do wells is 'Tomas Leon', and Eric Roberts plays his scumbag role with relish, making him utterly snakelike and repulsive as the slick psychotic son helping his father control the Cuban Mafia in Miami. May has several targets and Tomas is at the top of the list. Unfortunately for her, their security is handled by James Woods' 'Ned Trent', a psychotic ex CIA spook who wants Ray's head for getting him thrown out of the agency. From there the film builds its thrills from showing Ray hunting the gansters, and Ned hunting the bomber, leading to some very flashy and enjoyable action. Woods plays his role with amusing excess and villainy, Stone is vastly over-muscled but sincere, and Stone is better than the role requires - her May's eyes flash with the pain and viciousness of a wounded animal in many scenes, and you feel for her predicament. Yes, it's dated a little because of the very '90s action feeling, and yes, it's pantomime villainy - it's not going to win any screenwriting awards. But it's also explosive, exciting, dramatic and better than it has any right to be. Very enjoyable trash.

good

Great film,well worth a watch.

An ok film, not as good as I Remember it if I’m honest - dvd was in good condition

Good film well I liked it good actors

Good film

Un expert en EXPLOSIFS (Ray QUICK = Sylvester STALLONE) est engagé par une BOMBE (May MUNRO = Sharon STONE) pour neutraliser les trois meurtriers des parents des parents de celle-ci. Une relation sensuelle et torride se noue alors entre Ray et May : quel veinard ce Stallone !!! Entretemps, un mafioso (Joe LEON = Rod STEIGER) engage l’ancien compagnon d’armes de Ray (Ned TRENT = James WOODS) pour éliminer ce dernier. Curieuse coïncidence, le titre original de ce film - « The SpecialiSt » - contient deux « S » tout comme les premières lettres des noms et prénoms des deux acteurs principaux : Sharon Stone et Sylvester Stallone. Pour conclure, je reprendrai une ancienne pub des années 80 (le bon vieux temps !) qui vantait les mérites d’une barre énergétique commençant par OVO... : j’ai 8 secondes pour vous dire que ce film, c’est de la DYNAMITE ;-)
