The Saint isn't unforgivable, but it definitely falls short of being satisfying entertainment.

| Jan 5, 2018

A generic suspenser that doesn't taste bad at first bite but becomes increasingly hard to swallow.

There's no lack of style or pace from Noyce, just the sense that it isn't quite gelling together.

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.

Eminently forgettable.

Love redeems this profiteer; it also renders him conventional.

Reinvention in the hands of Hollywood is seldom cause for celebration.

There isn't a contemporary film actor more crafty than Val Kilmer -- or one who reveals less of his true self. That's why Kilmer is so perfectly cast as Simon Templar, the master thief and elusive disguise artist of The Saint.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002

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

Whereas something like Clear and Present Danger was briskly all of a piece, "The Saint" has difficulty making us believe that its diverse elements belong in the same motion picture.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 14, 2001

A piece of mass-market movie bubblegum that stretches incredulity and then snaps apart.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Anyone looking for a religious experience at the multiplex this weekend will do better checking out Dennis Rodman's hair hues in Double Team.

A soulless piece of claptrap.

| Jan 1, 2000

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A remarkably likable thriller.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The Saint is all glitz and comic-book spy plot with no more than a passing hint that Templar has a real personality behind the disguises.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

[Noyce] keeps things moving at a kinetic, involving pace.

| Jan 1, 2000

Loud, frantic, ridiculously overproduced and featuring a preening performance by Val Kilmer as a supposedly brilliant master of disguise, The Saint is sheer overkill.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000
