just last night was flicking channels and saw Specialist was on and not seen it in years and it was the scene just after Eric Roberts has been killed and its Woods meeting Rod Steiger at the funeral and the whole scene is just lol funny with Woods facial expressions/ticks showing utter contempt to this old Godfather - the way he puts on his sad face when he offers him his 'condolences' and almost sniggering at him when his back is turned, curling his lip after being chastised, but at the same time showing a fleeting moment of genuine fear when Steiger blows up at him after he said his son 'wouldnt lay low' and 'you're not thinking straight' like he realises he might've pushed him too far and he could actually have him killed right there.. but then goes back to being all sneery when the moment has passed LOL
its a great scene with 2 fantastic actors. its why The Specialist which should be just a silly cheesy 90s action movie is abit more than that (also see stuff like The Fugitive - the actors really elevate the material)
