DVD Reviews of The Saint
DVD Review: Review by Hasan Alsancak
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched Val Kilmer's The Saint several times and really enjoyed. It is one of my most favorite movies. However, for some reason, The Saint was not the hugest hit at the box office. After buying the its DVD and watching it many times, I wonder why.
His acting was great. Val Kilmar once again proves that he is one of the most multi-dimensional actors of our time. Just think of all the different types of roles that he's played in movies over the years. In The Saint, he gets to assume even more roles with his constant disguise changes and varying voice inflections. Elizabeth Shue was great as well. For many reasons, I believe that The Saint is one of the best movies of our time.

DVD Review: Terrific Action-Suspense Thriller.
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the series starring Roger Moore, who would go on to even greater fame as James Bond in seven classic films, "The Saint" is reborn...this time from the writer of "Die Hard With A Vengeance" and the director of "Dead Calm," "Patriot Games" & "Clear And Present Danger." Starring Val Kilmer ("Tombstone," "Batman Forever") and Elisabeth Shue ("The Karate Kid"), this film is an adrenaline-charged, suspense-filled ride from start to hair-raising finish. Listen for a surprise cameo just before the end credits. (It's "Saint"ly). Though I prefer the new ending, I would like to see the original ending as Jonathan Hensleigh and Philip Noyce envisioned the film. Disregard the PG-13 rating. It's tame, compared to "Good Luck, Chuck" and other salacious movies being released nowadays. Rated PG for action-violence and brief strong language.DVD Review: Forgettable 90's Thriller

Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this at the theatres when it came out and was enthralled by it. I saw it multiple times, although that was partially because I was studying in Jordan at the time and in Jordan I would watch American movies just to get a break from my Arabic immersion program (I think I watched more movies that year than I have in the last ten). Nevertheless, the fact that I was abroad made the international setting of it seem more exiting. At that time I had never been to Russia.
I think I watched it once on tape after that, after having lived in Russia (in 1999), and I realized then how much Russians would hate this movie. I've now just recently watched it again for the first time in probably eight years, and of course I've spent a lot of time developing my thinking on international affairs during that span.
Now watch this again to see what was wrong with how Americans viewed Russia in the 1990s. Like Sean Connery's "The Rising Sun" on Japan in the early 1990s, this movie reflects how Americans viewed Russia during that time. Not that it was necessarily inaccurate. The speech given by the character of Ivan Tretiak certainly captures how many Russians feel. And Russia did have a kind of hapless reformist president at that time.
The key is the closing scenes in which an American has to tell the hapless Russian president what he should do, and then when another American works some magic behind the scenses, Russians enthusiastically fall for him. This is precisely how the U.S. foreign policy establishment treated Russia during that time. Why it was not clear that Russians would resent this, I don't know.
As far as the movie itself is concerned, I still enjoy the build-up even though the ending is dumb. And I think this is the only movie Val Kilmer ever successfully carried. He has been in other great movies (Heat, Ghost in the Darkness), but he's never led another that I'd consider watching twice. And of course there is Elisabeth Shue, and very briefly, Emily Mortimer in a short but memorable role.
DVD Review: The greatest force in this universe is......
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are in love, have been in love or just been in love w/ the idea of being in love; The Saint is just the movie to see. Not only is it action packed (from beginning to end), comical at times and fantastic to watch (location wise); it is one of my favorite love stories. The connection between Elisabeth Shue's and Val Kilmer's character is amazingly stunning. Anyone in their right mind would appeal to their chemistry. However, I personally feel that one other thing should be mentioned; the movie score. Simply amazing! Graeme Revell (who has done the score to such movies as "The Crow" and "Strange Days" overwhelms with this score as it is enchantingly beautiful and definitely one of my favorites. In conclusion, this movies has everything that a movies should have and it is so underrated.
Description of The Saint
Story of a polished espionage agent Simon Templar, \The Saint"", in a series of disguises and adventures.Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 8-JAN-2002
Media Type: DVD"""
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
