As a child, May Munro watched in horror as her family was brutally murdered in a contract hit by three Cuban gangsters, led by the reptilian Tomas Leon. Now an adult, she is hell-bent on avenging her parents' death. She tries to hire Ray Quick, a bomb specialist with a noble heart and "a past" to do the job. This leads to complications as Quick must confront his ex-CIA partner, the malicious Ned Trent, who now works for the Leon family. But as Quick and Munro work together to settle their respective scores, explosions of a different sort begin to ignite. [More]

Reviews for The Specialist
Tedious. Ludicrous. Completely unecessary. And I mean the whole movie, not just Stone and Stallone's naked shower scene.
This movie is a stinker in every way, from the one-dimensional acting to the idiot dialogue to the surprisingly monotonous storyline.
