THE SPECIALIST
Ouvrage 9781DVDAMENE9 : THE SPECIALIST
This over-the-top star vehicle for box office draws Sylvester Stallone
and Sharon Stone went through a series of directors before landing in
the hands of Luis Llosa. Stallone stars as Ray Quick, a former CIA bomb
expert now retired in Miami after an operation against a South American
drug lord went horribly wrong, resulting in the death of a child. Ray is
coaxed out of retirement by May Munro (Stone) to help her get revenge on
the powerful organized crime family -- headed up by Joe Leon (Rod
Steiger) and his son Tomas (Eric Roberts) -- that killed her parents
years before. In the meantime, Ray's former partner Ned Trent (James
Woods) is on the Leon family payroll and is seeking his own kind of
revenge on Ray. As Ray executes Leon's soldiers one by one, his
attraction to May boils over into a steamy encounter in the shower, a
prelude to an explosive finale. Although director Llosa wisely kept his
camera focused on his buff, semi-clad stars and the film's spectacular
effects, the somewhat silly and incoherent plot resulted in a poor box
office performance for The Specialist, the third disappointment in a row
for Stone. Karl Williams
