Lightly enjoyable but a disappointment in the context of author Leslie Charteris's popular character, the Saint--who has been played by several actors, most notably George Sanders--this 1997 film is more in keeping with the requirements of high-octane contemporary action than it is the requirements of a particular legacy. Val Kilmer plays Simon Templar, the mercenary spy, who is hired to steal a fusion formula but falls in love with the scientist (Elisabeth Shue) who cooked it up. Kilmer's portrayal bears little resemblance to Charteris's rakish hero, and the film itself becomes increasingly improbable and ponderous the longer it goes on. --Tom Keogh

Excellent spy flick January 23, 2010
L. M. Barber
A great spy movie. Great add to the shelf for relatively unknown releases. Easily Kilmer's best. Unpredicatable plot, good casting, and Kilmer's dusguises and language impersonations are second to none. Hey, it's not the Roger Moore Bond level movie, but definitely keeps you from looking at your watch.
 The Saint January 19, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Simon Templar has no real family, no real home and Simon Templar isn't even his real name. Yet Simon Templar , also known as the Saint for his use of creating false identities using the names of Catholic saints,is one of the world's most successful thieves. Slick, debonair and a master of disguise, Simon manages to outwit the police again and again. On his next job Simon is hired by the Russian Mafia to steal a cold fusion energy formula from scientist Emma Russel, however the mission backfires as he falls for the pretty, intelligent scientist. Simon and his new love must now manage to outwit the Russian Mafia and work out the energy formula before the worst happens and the US is affected forever. I liked this movie. Not as "The Saint" but as an elaborate action movie with a twist. Val Kilmer bears nothing in him that even gets close to Roger Moore's character, but if you look away from that and try to see it as an ordinary movie, it's really good.

As movies go.... this is a great movie.. Now if your a hard nosed TV series viewer and expect the same thing you may be disappointed..I never saw any Tv series.. but this movie has so many cool elements that it makes it down right entertaining.. Val Kilmer at his best.. He can pull off so many looks it was impressive to watch. Plus Elisabeth Shue.. how can you go wrong? See it!

I was pleased with the availability, delivery, and the total cost. I have always had a pleasant experience when I deal with Amazon.
Loved it! December 8, 2009
L. Rowlatt (Toronto, Canada)
I bought this film out of a discount sale bin, motivated by memories of the old Roger Moore show.
I love it! It captures all the cleverness of the Saint, and throws in a sizzling hot romance to boot.
The original stories were good boys' fiction - but this film serves both action and romance tastes. Can't be beat. I wish they'd make a sequel!
