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....
"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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Pros: Has everything Cons: ending could have been better
I dont think that there could be a more perfect movie. It has action and adventure for the guys and it has romance for the ladies. The movie was well written and boy did they get the perfect actors to portray the characters. I have watched this movie...
I remember watching "The Saint" on TV when I was younger and loved the action and suspense so when I happen to be flipping through channels and accidently caught "The Saint" I just had to watch to see if it was as good as the...
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...
