Mau- ro hires Quick to kill the Leons and in the process brings him out of his secluded world and into a web of deceit and mistrust. James Woods co-stars as Ned Trent, an ex-military partner to Quick and current henchman of the Leons. Woods is able to use the seductive Mauro to get at Quick for one more confrontation with Quick. “The Specialist” will blow you away with its powerful script that offers a combination of solid one-liners and dramatic dia logue. The special effects and photography are strong additions that resemble “Blown Away” and “Speed” but different enough to let give “The Specialist” its own identity and flair. Stallone and Stone give quali ty performances, showing more acting ability than in their recent films. Known more for his deliv ery of a punch or few rounds from a machine gun, Stallone is cool and calculating as the explo sives expert. Stone, who is best remembered for her portrayal of Katherine Trammell in “Basic Instinct,” is effective in showing the ability fo overcome the death of her parents and getting her long-awaited revenge. Stallone and Stone work well together throughout the movie, even though there is not much direct communication between the two for a good part of the movie. There are brilliant sup portive roles from Rod Steiger, Eric Roberts and Woods. There aren’t any real nega tives about movie even for those who think they’ve seen enough movies about explosions in the past year. It would definitely be worth the time and money to see “The Specialist”. Serving the Brazos Valley. Call for help.
