No, no, no... it is not terrible! It is the 'Citizen Kane' of comedic film compared to 'Scoop', a Woody Allen movie I watched recently on DVD. I have watched 'The Experts' several times and always enjoyed it - but I wait several years between viewings.
Recently I saw an Alias episode, 'Welcome to Liberty Village,' in which Jennifer Garner and Michael Vartan are sent to a Russian town that looks just like modern suburbia. It also is populated by Russians who speak flawless English and live in the town so that they can be seamlessly integrated into American life.
Of course, being 'Alias,' there is a shoot-out in a car dealership that was very cleverly done - two suburban couples required to have a shoot-out to the death for ownership of a certain model car, with the losers being killed. The test was passed by Garner/Vartan, of course. It also was reminiscent of 'La Femme Nikita' in that they were discussing buying a car without knowing that the salesman would hand them guns to assemble (part of the test) without an warning that this was anything other than a routine transaction.
It was very entertaining but it made me want to watch 'The Experts' again. I watched it and was entertained all over again - there were some very funny lines in the movie that of course I had forgotten about.
