Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSharon Stone was 36 when this movie was filmed, although her character was supposed to be in her early twenties.
- GoofsThe scene in which Ray sets a trap in his high rise balcony hotel room overlooking the water was spectacular, but from a construction or physics perspective it was preposterous. No amount of explosives placed on the surface of the floor, walls and ceiling could have caused the balcony to break off cleanly as depicted. Ray would have had to have hired crews to use heavy equipment to drill into the concrete and then place explosives inside the concrete. Obviously the hotel would not have cooperated with Ray's remodeling.

Featured review
Truly Terrible Film
Sylvester Stallone is know stranger to bad movies. However, even considering all the subpar films he's appeared in throughout his career, The Specialist is one of his worst. I'm not sure where to begin with this film because its flawed in so many ways. All I can say is the director, the writer, the editor and much of the cast are all terrible. Even the efforts of old time greats like Rod Steiger and John Barry seem dismal in this picture.
Even if you're a Stallone fan and can overlook the flaws in many of his films, I find it difficult to imagine anyone being able to look past those of The Specialist.
