Editorial Review:
What counts is not who makes the first move, but who survives the last! Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas are rival hit men in Assassins, a thriller directed by Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon) and scripted by Andy Wachowski & Larry Wachowski (The Matrix) and Brian Helgeland (Mystic River). Stallone portrays ex-CIA explosives expert Ray Quick in The Specialist, hired by drop-dead beauty May Munro (Sharon Stone) to wreak vengeance on a Miami crime syndicate. But the mob isn't going down without a fight. And as the incendiary action unfolds, an ominous question arises. Is May also setting up Ray?
Assassins/The Specialist Reviews:
Double Delicious 
2008-11-13 - I love these movies. They're pure grade B, and absolutely marvelous. Sly blows everything possible up as the Specialist, and seduces/is seduced by the very sexy voiced Sharon Stone.
James Woods villains it up like no other, and entertains massively as he looses his marbles, along with his yarbles ultimately.
Assassins...ohh Paradise found. Seeing Antonio Banderas as the very nutso younger Assassin is a rare treat. He has all the earmarks of a wild-eyed coked up freak, as he determinedly tries to kill the antiquated (in his opinion) Mr. Stallone. Stallone on the other hand manages everything with aplomb; the ultimate vision of cool.
These guys are great together. These movies are great together.
Watch them for sheer entertainment and fun. If you're looking for something to take seriously, you'll be ticked off and will write mean things about this set. Go for the giggles, and the over-the-topness.
2 into 1; You can't beat that. 
2007-02-13 - For action movie fans, this is one of the best 2 discs DVD sets you can buy. Each of the 2 discs has the same movie on both sides: one for NTSC and one for Widescreen. Each of the movies has good picture and good digital sound. The films are full of action, drama, and romance. The DVD menus are incredible; each disc is like it's own single independent disc but this is a 2 discs DVD set. 2 into 1; you can't beat that.
