"What is Your Name?"

by bilbopooh bilbopooh is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 17 '00
Pros: Simon's multiple personalities
Cons: the shoot-outs
This is a question which Simon Templar (Val Kilmer) has all but forgotten the answer to. A thief for hire aspiring to earn fifty million dollars, he lives his life day to day under any one of dozens of personas, each with the name of a Catholic saint....

Worst action movie ever?

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 06 '09
Pros: Elizabeth Shue
Cons: Everything else
"The Saint" is probably one of the most mindless and typical of the modern Hollywood thrillers. It has a dashing hero, a beautiful damsel in distress, a villain from the cliche vaults, and an overly complicated plot which conviently provides for lots of ...

The Saint

by nayad , Feb 23 '00
Pros: Val Kilmer, Elizabeth Shue, good acting.
Cons: Unrealistic plot.
Action and passion drive this movie through implausible moments that, in a lesser movie, would drive me nuts. Val Kilmer does an excellent job playing the role of Simon, an extremely good thief who uses the names of saints as his pseudonyms. This quirk...

Just a Second Rate James Bond Film, But Still has Good Points.

by grimjack2 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 16 '01
Pros: Many Good Scenes. Excellent Acting. Original Characters.
Cons: Many scenes don't satisfy. Tried, but failed, to be a Bond film.
Trust me when I say that this movie looked a lot better in the commercials than it actually was. I have never seen a full episode of the TV series it was based upon, but I entered the theater with all I needed to know about the original character. He...

Great remake of the classic series

by Jakeblack , Aug 30 '02
Pros: Action pace, fun story, chemistry with Kilmer and Shue
Cons: I wish they would make a sequel!
I was a fan of "The Saint" when it was a TV show with Roger Moore as Simon Templar; so when this movie came out I was looking forward to seeing the new interpretation.

I was not disappointed. Val Kilmer would not have been my first choice to...

No Batman here either, boys

by susidee34 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 14 '00
Pros: Kilmer
Cons: ......
I have never seen one movie where one actor could change is appearance so completely as Val Kilmer does in The Saint .

Kilmer/Saint/Simon Templar is hired to steal a formula that deals with the production of energy. This formula is in...

A decent spy movie when the 007 marathon isn't playing

by kira002 , Apr 12 '00
Pros: Kilmer as a secret agent? Shue as a genius? Somehow it works.
Cons: The plot is rather convoluted, but what spy movie isn't?
Meryl Streep eat your heart out! Val Kilmer gets to don not one, not two, but at least FIVE different accents during the course of this film. Isn't that some sort of record? Aside from the accents, he also dons different disguises and gets all sorts of...

The Saint

by penbar , Jan 21 '00
Pros: Kilmer is charismatic and effective.
Cons: Shue hopelessly miscast.
THE SAINT: Val Kilmer gives a noteworthy and charismatic performance as Simon Templar, the Robin Hood-like character with a twist; he steals from the evil/rich and gives unto himself. This film delves into Templar’s childhood, exploring reasons for his...

A More Realistic Spy Thriller

by KPetzold , Apr 06 '00
Pros: Good Story & Wonderful Talent
Cons: It drage slightly in a few parts
If you are into movies like James Bond, Assassin and other types of covert, spy like movies, then you will probably enjoy The Saint.

In this movie Val Kilmer plays Simon, the Saint, who is a master of disguise and an independent spy/thief for...

Saint.......a look at Val Kilmer's ability as a chameleon

by jenmnevada , Apr 09 '00
Pros: Entertaining, involving, action-packed story.
Cons: Uses stereotypes about the old USSR a little gratuitously
For anyone who isn't yet familiar with Val Kilmer's extraordinary range as an actor, this film showcases these abilities.

Kilmer plays a role in which the character assumes multiple personas, everything from a gay European personal assistant...

I need for a good movie?

by Kimosabe , Jul 10 '00
Pros: Complex Character, Humor, Not TOO much Action
Cons: None
The Saint is one of my all time favorite movies. I think for me it has something to do with a childhood fantasy of being a spy. Even if you lacked similar childhood dreams, you should still enjoy this movie.
The main character, played by Val...

"It takes three miracles to become a Saint"

by lax012 , Jan 24 '00
Pros: Excellent Story Line, Plot, Characters, and Screen Play
Cons: None
A real "Edge-of-your-seat" movie. Excellent roll play by Val Kilmer, AKA "The Saint". He's an orphan who escaped from the orphanage when he was growing up. He lives his life as a thief in Britain, wanted by the British government...

Saint

by Ben_Brizendine , Oct 14 '99
Pros: Exciting
Cons: Not Believable
This movie has a great mix of romance and action. Val Kilmer goes around stealing things for people and he uses a different Saints name everytime he goes to another place. When he meets Elizabeth Shue he is supposed to take something from her but ends...
