A truly terrible moment in action cinema

With all the preening, posing and stretching, it's hard to know if The Specialist is an action movie or an exercise video.

Isn't Sly getting a little long in the Rocky-tooth for this kind of role?

A 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.

Good standard Stallone movie. Cool explosions and gratuitous fight scenes.

This movie is a stinker in every way, from the one-dimensional acting to the idiot dialogue to the surprisingly monotonous storyline.

This movie is excruciatingly dumb.

Tedious. Ludicrous. Completely unecessary. And I mean the whole movie, not just Stone and Stallone's naked shower scene.

Ponderous, 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.

Nothing in it should surprise you, despite the twists the story attempts to take. Formula is formula.

A bizarre mix of explosions, histrionic acting and ridiculous plotting ... and it isn't pretty.

The 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.
