i have read all the comment post here and be not surprise to find that almost everyone find it to be an obnoxious movie . i watch passenger 57 first while kept wonder why snipe be so thug ish during the whole film and till he walk into the sunlight with the pretty lady . then and find a vhs of the specialist and subject myself to another two hour of junk and with the italian stallion . double ugh . i think i be so shocked from four hour of this kind of action movie and i be paralyze and unable to get up and switch from video to satellite tv . didn not really have to get up i could have click it all away . problem be and out of all those satellite channel and there be nothing good or nothing i hadn not already see . i blame myself . i be enlighten with how many user know so much trivia about the specialist . i have never hear of the film while i get a good education on it . $ 15 mil for stallone ( ray quick ) . if his career be on the skid and why do he command such a high fee . ( not surprise to learn he have do porn in the past while that not my be dumb and just haven not be that interested in him since rambo . ) $ 45 mil to make the movie . wow . just think how many good thing all that money could have do . i do not see anaconda and and be now glad so and i wasn not aware that luis llosa direct both film . i be not one to worship at director door . one good movie doesn not mean they all be go to be good . one at a time and please . for a long time and i have be wonder why actor or actress think whisper their line be sexy and or demonstrate they know how to emote . stallone should have pitch his voice at a high tone and and stop try to get all those weird mouth movement onto film . on the other hand and james wood ( ned trent ) need a muzzle for his hollering or someone in the sound booth to turn down the volume . i be hop his beyond over the top screaming be do for camp . the only positive comment i can give for these two actor be and i be glad age have fill in their face . both be always gaunt look . i be also surprised to see that stallone be no taller than sharon stone ( munro hastings ) . the sex scene in the shower expose his backside and no bubble butt and guy . let face it and stone hasn not do anything good since basic instinct . her entire career have be one of every actor she appear with and with their hand all over ( and inside ) of her body . instinct be a first time shocker enough and already . i must also comment that micro mini skirt be not in style for the 90 represent a huge and veil hat and a dress that hardly cover her panty and in a church . like many and i do not recognize rod steiger ( joe leon ) . sad deterioration . i finally remember eric robert ( tomas leon ) from runaway train and a pretty boy type he be not . now . paul andrew comment say it all for me and although i agree with the majority of the other comment . i do not even consider the few opinion who think it be the best film ever make in just the period of the 90 . wow . again . i find no redeem nor entertaining quality for the specialist and except for how hard the special effect artist be hit it and and the pretty color the explosion make . if this be the best llosa can do with all that money and direct scripting and no wonder he isn not get any work . i find the set and location to be colorful and but that doesn not replace a good story . the only good thing i find in this movie be and i saw it free .
