The Saint
Based on the popular television series of the same name, THE SAINT finds Val Kilmer taking over the mantle from George Sanders and Roger Moore to star as Simon Templar, the suave international espionage expert and man of 1,000 faces. Based on Leslie Charteris's popular series of spy novels, the film finds Templar being hired by the Russian mafia to swipe a formula for cold fusion from the professor who discovered it. Templar's assignment gets complicated when the professor turns out to be the fetching Dr. Emma Russell (Elizabeth Shue), with whom he promptly falls in love, putting him on his Russian retainer's bad side. Soon the Russians are closing in on he and his new love, and Templar must keep them from both killing the professor and getting their hands on the formula.

An action adventure that commits the unforgivable sin of being dull. There are attempts to reposition Charteris's suave hero as a man with a troubled past, in the manner of the modern version of Batman, and to turn him into another James Bond. Both fail,

Have to disagree
I have to say this is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Val Kilmer is hopeless, Elisabeth Shue is charmless, the plot is a loud chaotic mess and it has... read more »

Rubbish if for not Shue
Rubbish plot, Vilmer is more comical than 'dangerous'. If it wasn't for the gorgeous Elisabeth Shue, it would be a waste. Worth watching just for ... read more »

For some reason I mised this film first time round. I now know the reason. Val Kilmer should probably face legal action for what he did to this film. Suppose it... read more »
