    The Saint works. The reason why it occasionally soars is Kilmer, an actor who’s happiest when burying himself in eccentric characterizations, a trick he performs repeatedly here even as he fills the screen with pure movie-star dazzle.

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

    While the original conception of The Saint gave us a debonair, sophisticated and roguish detective, the new movie, directed stiffly by Phillip Noyce ( "Clear and Present Danger" ), gives us Val Kilmer as a greedy high-tech daredevil thief with the moves of Batman, the clunky disguises of Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible" and the morals of an alley cat.

    This is one of my all time favorite movies. It's predictable, it's completely off basis with the real science of cold fusion, Elizabeth Shue is horrible, but it works for me.… Expand
