Review of The Saint

The Saint (1997)
1/10
A Hole a Minute
31 July 2006
It was painful to watch. I could list all the holes, but it would waste yet more of my time than the film did and you might not read this warning if I had to tick the 'Contains Spoiler' box.

It is like watching a Bond movie directed by a first time director. Someone should tell the writer a bit more about Simon Templar. Aside from the small factor of being a poor actor, Val Kilmer is the antithesis of suave. I mention Bond because there is too much Bond-styled action in this. You get the feeling that the people making the film wish they'd got a Bond movie to direct, so they tried to emulate one. The end result meaning that they slaughtered the memory of The Saint in the process. They are very different characters.

It gets one point for Elisabeth Shue looking as lovely as ever. It doesn't get more than that because it falls down through its near infinite number of holes too much to drag itself up to two points.
