    A cinematic sin.
  • March 24, 2008
    Good cast but movie is disappointing.
  • December 9, 2007
    Fun to watch for some reason i still can`t explain.
  • August 1, 2007
    A fun if not sometimes flawed film. Val Kilmer is cool though.
  • July 7, 2007
    The Saint has a cold dank Russian setting, which brought it down. Val Kilmer dons some great disguises on his mission. I liked the uplifting ending when the fusion occurs. Warmer locations people!

    Great show for its' time, based on novel.






    saturday morning lounging special!

    Awesome in the 90's. Full of 007esque action with a decent story line. Shue is, as usual, smiokin hott, but the movie doesn't hold up in todays thirst for violence and heroism. Funny charactors played by Val thru-out

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Love redeems this profiteer; it also renders him conventional. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

More entertaining than Mission: Impossible or the last Bond film, Goldeneye, it brings back the humour and sang-froid that makes the genre work. full review

January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Compared with the sensational stunts and special effects in the Bond series, The Saint seems positively leisurely. full review
