Summary: Miracle four
Review: I agree with the reviewer who distrusts critical mumbo-jumbo and found this not very ambitious movie entertaining and appealing. To be sure, many things could have been done better (Dr. Russell's initial exposition on cold fusion, plausibility of the overall plot and eventual results, the way the Saint was haunted by his past etc.), but I think the acting was really good. Additionally, there wasn't too much blood spill and unnecessary sex which I think rendered the film even more balanced. Sometimes expensive and even sophisticated movies leave you empty after you've watched them; this is a rather naive movie that might give you something.

Summary: Very Underrated Movie
Review: For some reason, The Saint was not the hugest hit at the box office. After buying the video and watching it many times, I wonder why.The acting was great. Val Kilmar once again proves that he is one of the most multi-dimensional actors of our time. Just think of all the different TYPES of roles that he's played in movies over the years. In The Saint, he gets to assume even more roles with his constant disguise changes and varying voice inflections. Elizabeth Shue was great as well. Her character was both smart and a little out of it, and I guess if I were designing a genius character for a movie, it would be like that: smart in their field, but a little out of touch with the world. The bad guys also did a great job. The story is fun and exciting, a little unbelievable, but hey, that's why we go see movies, right? There's gadgets, humor, suspense, romance...it's all here. The Saint had all the makings of a classic. Fans of the TV series will get a kick out of Roger Moore being the radio voice at the end. I feel that overall the makers of the movie did an admirable job of taking the Saint story and fitting it into the 1990's while staying true to the original idea. GREAT movie. Bravo!

Summary: Loved him, not so much her
Review: I really enjoy this movie. My VHS is about to wear out, so Iguess I'll buy the DVD. The music is great, Val Kilmer is great, thebad guy is good, I just can't believe Elizabeth Shue as a Cold Fusion expert. The interaction between her and Kilmer works wonderfully though. Shue's a good actress- if they'd only written her character differently I'd be more impressed with the movie as a whole. END

Summary: THE SAINT is the ultimate guy movie!
Review: Think about it. There's a wonderful plot, despite what some critics might think. It's full of twists and turns and conspiracy, and keeps you guessing. There's plenty of action. Gunfire, explosions, car chases, chases on foot . . . You won't be bored watching the movie. A master of disguise. Val Kilmer seems to be having the time of his life as Simon goes from womanizing hippie to nerdy reporter to tortured artist, all in the name of his work. A great villain. Rade Serbedzija is always a delight, as he appeared in MIGHTY JOE YOUNG and EYES WIDE SHUT, but his role here is his best to date. You almost want to root for him. Finally, Elizabeth Shue in her underwear. Need I say more?

Summary: Saint it Aint
Review: Leslie Charteris, the Saint's creator, never lived to see this completed, which is probably a relief to him as it's not very good. Kilmer is about as English as a Cadillac and the Saint is very English, that's the hole point of him. You wouldn't like an Englishman playing Columbo now would you! Bring back Ian Ogilvy, or Roger Moore, and learn what the Saint is really about>

Summary: A fun trip out of reality
Review: I first saw this movie in the theater when i thought i was losing my mind. Maybe that is why i did pick up on the basic elements of the plot the first time round. It isn't reality, but then again mniether is "Under Seige" and this movie has the virtue of not piling up a high body count. I think the only obvious death is the girl in the beginning, and no blood spilled either. This ranks as a rewatchable movie, but the film studio have obviousl caught on to its audience- video rental tapes feature an ad about various movie heroes. Anybody want to explain why this is an action movie that appeals to women?

Summary: The Saint is Great. The rest, well . . . .
Review: I actually liked "The Saint", the movie based on the TV show. The plot, some sort of mishmash about cold fusion and a Russian oligarch who wants to use it to seize power in Russia, is confusing and not terribly exciting. The Saint's love interest, played by Elizabeth Shue, is totally unbelievable. (Elizabeth Shue plays a nuclear physicist?) So why did I like it? Two words- Val Kilmer. Vilmer, an outstanding actor, is letter perfect in the role as the title character. Effortlessly Vilmer's character changes accents, appearances and personas to steal and swindle and, ultimately, redeem himself. Kilmer blends into the part brilliantly and deserves real praise for making this movie as enjoyable as it is.

Summary: The Best- Something for all
Review: When i first saw the Saint I was astounded. This is by far my favorite movie. I thought it was awesome- Kilmer does an excellent job with all the charcter changes and I love Elisabeth Shue! After I saw it (again and again...) I read a few reviews on it about people saying it was "boring and hard to follow." I didn't find it hard to follow at all and I'm only 16, I know it was compared to Mission impossible (people saying that was easier to follow) and I totallt still don't get Mission impossible. Maybe I liked The Saint so much because it was new. It had something for everyone, I like romance and my friends like action, so we we're all happy. My friends could sit there and say "Yeah! Blow that car up! " and I could say "Awwww! Look! Their in love! That is soo sweet!" and all was good. Excellent story, excellent acting, excellent film, miracle number 3... now if only there were a sequel...

Summary: A Kinder, Gentler James Bond
Review: As exciting and visually spectacular as a Bond film with a lot more heart. Kilmer's accents and disguises are outstanding, as is the chemistry between he and Shue. The soundtrack is a must-have (yes, I even bought the Score). A smart film with smart characters and surprises at every turn.

Summary: The Saint. Miracle one...
Review: Even though The Saint doesn't apply to my favorite movie genre, this movie is by no comparison my all time favourite movie. It has it all: A very beautiful love story, action, an innovative theme and great acting. I bought this film when I was madly in love with a girl I couldn't have. It prevented me from being depressed all the time, but I still haven't figured out why. It's a magical movie which contains something unique but yet unexplainable. You have to watch it to understand what I mean.
