Just the other night I caught “The Saint” on television, and I was rapt. Aside from the movies drag through Russia, and the ingenious race methods of Val Kilmer’s character, Simon Templar, a theif with sharp disguises and gadgets, it is the adore myth that has taken me. Elisabeth Shue’s character makes your heart ache: someone so pretty to be so alone and in search for the magic of care for. The chemistry between Kilmer and Shue is absolutely overwhelming, and it makes me wonder why I have read so many critic reviews on this movie that have shot it to the dirt? Why listen to critics anyway? What exactly do they inquire? This is a movie where you have to stare the beauty and the fun that it displays, and understand the purity and magnificence of good, intriguing admire. Critics can dog this movie all they want, where it’s action may not excite the “Armageddon” fans, and it’s suspense may not grip the “Yowl” fans, the excellence of this movie is left for those who can describe to it. In this world that lacks magic, is filled with disappointments, and murky, repeititive activities, this movie is the spice that anyone’s life can exercise. Yes, critics, shake your heads in disgust, unbiased know that The Saint’s esteem tale alone by far trascends the over-rated greatness of “Sizable” and other such movies that everyone went exasperated over. Think a movie by what it gives to you, not by what you ask of it. “The Saint” is definitly 1 of very few movies that will soon be entering my movie collection.
I really liked this film, and yes, I have seen the series with Roger Moore. I imprint that the reviews here so far seem to descend into two camps: people who never saw the series, and loved the film, and people who loved the series, and honest can’t salvage over their disappointment that their beloved character wasn’t faithfully portrayed on the expansive shroud.
No, Val Kilmer’s Simon Templar is not the same as Roger Moore’s. but this isn’t really such a abominable thing. The movie is a really nice, underrated glance thriller. It’s got action, romance, exotic locals, love-to-hate-em villains, a likeable hero, and a place that doesn’t strain suspension of disbelief too far. What more do you want in a popcorn movie?
I’ll admit, if you’re a staunch fan of the series or the books it might have been nice to have a movie that reflects the new a slight more faithfully. But it might be well to study that the series was not without its faults as well. For one thing, it always bothered my about the series that Simon Templar is an unadulterated superb guy, who never, ever does anything really criminal or substandard or sinister, yet everywhere he goes, the local authorities are watching him like hawks, as though he is some kind of arch criminal.

I’m also rather thrown for a loop that some of the reviewers here blast the movie for being amazing, and then decry Val Kilmer’s Simon Templar because he’s not like the “precise” Saint. Apt, this version is not all that faithful to the spirit of Leslie Charteris’ character, but that Saint was a freelance, adventuring do-gooder, a man who read the papers interested to collect a cause to involve himself in. His accurate code was strong, and his motives were also pure: he would never pain, bewitch from, or waste anyone who doesn’t completely deserve it. In short, the Saint was the Robin Hood of the twentieth century. Folks, let’s face it, this is not the most believable character in fiction. I grant you, it’s certainly fun, and it might have played well in the pulp era of the 1920s in which the character orignated (or even the early to mid 60s when the series was made), but the producers of the film probably felt (and perhaps not wrongly, let’s grant) that this sort of thing was fair too noteworthy for audiences to swallow in today’s more cynical era.
If you can earn over the fact that this is not really Leslie Charteris’ Saint, then you will come by this movie to be a really fun, animated peek thriller. I recommend it.
