The Saint (1997)
1/10
Avoid at all costs.

This movie was an unbelievable mess. It made little sense until the end and by then I didn't care. I like Val Kilmer but in this movie it seemed he was definitely just picking up a check. Elisabeth Shue was equally bad. The plot was ridiculous and the characters were very flat. And the police? They hadn't figured out the guy they are chasing always uses saints' names? Worst of all I did not like the way the Saint was portrayed - he is supposed to be a problem solver, a sort of Robin Hood looking for people to help. In this movie he was a thief who did the "right" thing only after he fell in love with the girl. And what was the nonsense at the beginning? Was this supposed to help us understand his character? It didn't. Avoid at all costs, especially if you like the Roger Moore series.
