What’s Not So Good?

- Too Much Action: Some people might think there’s too much action. It can be a bit unreal.
Final Thoughts
The Specialist is a typical action movie from the 90s. It’s fun because of the stars and the action. If you like Stallone’s movies, you might enjoy this one. Just don’t expect a complicated story. It’s all about the excitement. If you want something more real, this might not be for you.
