Leave your thoughts about The Specialist.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Specialist is one of those films that forces the characters through torturous mazes of dialogue and action, to explain a plot that is so unlikely it's not worth the effort. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumIsn't Sly getting a little long in the Rocky-tooth for this kind of role? |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisThis is film-making that never asks you seriously to believe, or care, but simply to wallow in its sensual overload and succumb to its trashy caress. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDragan AntulovThis film perhaps didn't deserve its horrible reputation, but very few people should have to endure watching The Specialist just in order to come to such conclusion. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsTed PriggeA totally dull story that thinks it can use various explosions to make it interesting, The Specialist is about as exciting as an episode of Dragnet, and about as well acted. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonWith all the preening, posing and stretching, it's hard to know if The Specialist is an action movie or an exercise video. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsScott RenshawPonderous, pretentious and acted with astounding indifference, The Specialist is a big fat bore with a couple of nice explosions. It's too somber to work as camp, and too tedious to work as anything else. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksA bizarre mix of explosions, histrionic acting and ridiculous plotting ... and it isn't pretty. |
| User ReviewEric HIts an automatic 5 stars when you see Sharon Stone's tits |
| User ReviewDean KThis movie was pact filled with action i enjoyed myself :-) |
