Reviews of The Saint

Fun for actor and viewer alike

This is one of my favorites. I watch it over and over trying to figure out how Val Kilmer could pull of creating so many diverse characters! His acting was amazing.

Kilmer's character started as a orphan who survived by learning to become who ever he needed to become, by breaking the unreasonable orphanage rules to survive, he grew up breaking the law. One might say he became as master of disguise and accents, but he really became 'a new person' for each assignment because he never knew who he really was; not knowing who his parents were.

Elisabeth Shue was a woman who was eccentric and just a fit for his oddness. It is a love story I could understand, one I have lived (without all the action) and treasure.

If you like action, romance and watching an actor who is amazing at his craft, I recommend this movie.

The Saint review

After HellBoy, this was my second worst cinema experience. I'm not exactly sure what compelled me to go and see this, I think there was nothing else on at the time, but it was really not an interesting film. Val Kilmer is hired by the mafia to steal a cold-fusion formula... I could just leave it there, but then I wouldn't get to the boring part about him falling in love with his intended victim. Completely cliche and predictable.

I think I took the most toilet breaks ever during the screening.

I know I said in my very first review how much I love Mission Impossible. I love this film just as much. Though both action flicks, this one has a great love story to it. I grew up watching this.
