The Saint Reviews
...a sluggish and terminally uninvolving thriller...
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 8, 2022
The Saint isn't unforgivable, but it definitely falls short of being satisfying entertainment.

Uneven '90s action movie has violence, some drug use.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 31, 2016
Kilmer slips in and out of a series of ludicrously elaborate disguises, some more convincing than others, while poor Shue shuffles through the role of a sexy, book-reading babe pretending to be a dowdy lady scientist in kneesocks.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 20, 2008
A generic suspenser that doesn't taste bad at first bite but becomes increasingly hard to swallow.
Full Review | May 20, 2008
There's no lack of style or pace from Noyce, just the sense that it isn't quite gelling together.

The glossy photography is stunning and Kilmer's implausible accents are fun.

This insufferable romance-adventure includes vague comedy as well as unintentional humor, and its target audience seems to be preadolescents who won't notice the calculated enthusiasm with which it sidesteps sexuality.

There was enough in the movie for me to watch and somewhat enjoy it the whole way through.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 18, 2006
Eminently forgettable.

What could have been a cool concept movie buckles under an uninspired script and some treacherous miscasting.

Kilmer should have stuck with his Batman character.
| Original Score: D+ | Apr 9, 2005
Love redeems this profiteer; it also renders him conventional.
Full Review | Mar 6, 2005
Nothing in the film really makes any sense, and all the other characters seem buffoonish and arch, overplayed to the point of farce, more Matt Helm than James Bond.

The film works, thanks to Noyce's skill in creating suspense and staging elaborate action scenes.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | May 22, 2003
The predictable action-thriller elements are all in place, from coke-sniffing, machine-gun-toting thugs to monotonous narrow escapes. The look is stylish, sound is above average, and the acting only as good as it has to be.

This film ought to make tons of money.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 16, 2003
Disappointing on nearly every level.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2002
The story that screenwriters Jonathan Hensleigh and Robert S. Baker have concocted keeps bogging down in silly contradictions or cliches.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 15, 2002
Reinvention in the hands of Hollywood is seldom cause for celebration.
