Review – The Saint

Here’s something novel: an action hero that makes it through the whole movie without killing anyone. All that money on effects and explosions and elaborate stunts, and not a single corpse (at least none directly attributable to our protagonist). Actually, it’s sort of refreshing. Val Kilmer must have spent months hanging around with clever people to get the method act down, but he does a reasonably good job of smirking his way through the role. And while I’m not quite sure I buy Elisabeth Shue as a nuclear physicist, I like her well enough that I really don’t care how believable she is. I don’t know a thing about the old TV series, but nothing I’ve ever seen Roger Moore do was ever this entertaining. Worth seeing
