\"\"\/Watched “The Specialist<\/a>” on DVD.<\/p>\n

This movie is a disappointment in general. Considering the cast I cannot believe that could come up with this film – Sylvester Stallone<\/a>, Sharon Stone<\/a>, James Woods<\/a>, Rod Steiger<\/a>, Eric Roberts<\/a>… This was probably the biggest misuse of high-profile actors in the 20th century.<\/p>\n

Other weak areas were a very shallow story, immature character development, and lack of action. Oh, and sense. There was no scenes in anything in this film. I mean, actions are well-known for their unrealistic and illogical setups, but this film is the king of nonsense.<\/p>\n
