Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

pholmes-1 Val Kilmer wears a series of dime store fake identities (I almost expected him to show up in a Groucho Marx mustache-and-cigar disguise) and demonstrates the inability to master any of a dozen different accents in his portrayal of Simon Templar.Elisabeth Shue is equally unconvincing as a scientist (!) who has made cold fusion work and whose palpable lack of chemistry with Kilmer kills the tiresome romantic subplot dead in its tracks. The usually excellent Rade Serbedzija is a generic but uninteresting villain.Throw in a script entirely lacking in clever twists or believable dialogue, unimaginative direction from journeyman Philip Noyce, and seriously under-developed secondary characters and it's easy to see why this mediocre movie utterly failed to launch what fans of the TV show must have hoped would be a franchise.

kellyu This is one of my favourite movies, yet, it's not very good. Val Kilmer's various accents grate and some of his character's personas you just want to punch, but Elizabeth Shue is fun and Alun Armstrong and Henry Goodman are great. The shooting locations are beautiful and nowadays seeing the top-of-the-line technology is a moment of great nostalgia (oh I always wanted that Nokia Communicator 9000). The cars are a highlight; well funded dodgy Russians are always going to have good quality cars, and of course Phillip Noyce blows a few up. You will learn something; yes, that's a legitimate treatment for hypothermia. Hospitalisation would be a better bet, however.It's harmless entertainment and you'll enjoy yourself if you can suspend belief for a while. Particularly over the speed of some of Simon Templar's costume changes.

david-sarkies The plot of this movie is quite similar to Chain Reaction, but the way it comes about is quite different. Both are movies about the discovery of free energy and powerful people trying to get their hands upon it. The difference with the Saint is that the Saint, or Simon Templar (Val Kilmer) is a thief. He angers a very powerful Russian after stealing a microchip and is then set up by him to steal the plans for a cold fusion reactor.There are numerous intricacies in this plot, namely the motivations behind the Russian Millionaire. There is a shortage of oil in Russia which means it is very cold in Moscow and their is now heating. The millionaire is attempting to gain control of Russia and is stirring the people up against the current government.This is an interesting turn of events in the plot lines. Previously it was the evil Russians communists whose plans to take over the world had to be foiled by the good guy. Now that communism has collapsed, there is no longer any powerful bad guy to send the good guys up against. Now it has to be the evil corporations and the evil Russians who are trying to restore communist rule to Russia. Where as before one could not destroy communism and Russia, now it is possible to bring a conclusive ending to the movie.The beginning of the Saint is set in an orphanage in the Far East. It is hard to tell if there is any relevance in this beginning. Its shows us that the Saint was an orphan and that he doesn't have a really name. In fact he shuns the name given to him by the priest. He then watches his girl friend plunge to her death after she is attacked by the dog. What it does not show is if he is blamed for the death or not. What this beginning does not is really make one hate the Catholic orphanage system with the way they abuse the children.The Saint is okay as an action movie. The good guy wins and gets the girl in the end. The girl is no ordinary woman though. She is a scientist but when she first meets the Saint she sees right through his disguise and into his heart. This is what captivates him. He doesn't even want to steal the plans from her, but later his greed overwhelms him and he takes the money. It is fun to watch but that is all.

Mighty I enjoyed watching this movie from beginning to end. Val Kilmer portrayed his role very well. Elisabeth Shue is very beautiful. She also played her character very well. The acting is superb and the scenes are top notch.Most negative comments are from people who compared this movie to the original one. I haven't seen the original, but, If I did, I will not make comparisons.The chemistry between Kilmer and Shue is real and natural. The flow keeps me glued to the screen till the end.The background music is a good choice and comes in at the right moment. I would definitely recommend this movie to friends and relatives.
