The Specialist deserves a slightly better than average score (when comparing against other B Movies) because I really enjoyed the first hour.
The story was kind of irrelevant although it was half-interesting. What I enjoyed about it was its overall demeanour. I wasn't expecting much but ended up liking it pretty much from the start because it was pretty funny and had some likable characters.
I really liked Anha Capri, I thought she gave a good, sultry yet tongue in cheek performance and her scenes with Harvey Jason were funny.
This is definitely a film of two halves though and for every decent, tongue in cheek character and performance, there is a serious and badly acted character.
Overall, I enjoyed the first hour but the final 30 minutes were completely out of sync with the rest of the film as lost all of its humour and interesting characters and became really boring.
