Religion

Another old library video.


The Saint

The 1997 movie version of the television series. It lacks the sauvity (suaveness?) of the television series. Its an action movie with not enough action and far too much romance, with some of the ugliest movie kissing ever. Kilmer's character is a master of disguise but I was distracted by the way he seemed to be channelling Neil from "The Young Ones". The old Russian guy was apparently not George Best and his son was apparently not Laurence Llewelyn Bowen. Best line - "While you're down there ..." Highlight of the movie - Julian Rhind-Tutt (Mac from "Green Wing") in a bit part. Another dig at the Catholic church at the beginning. Well worth missing. It might just be acceptable if you have never seen the television series.


Good night.
