The Saint
Simon Templar (The Saint), is a thief for hire, whose latest job to steal the secret process for cold fusion puts him at odds with a traitor bent on toppling the Russian government, as well as the woman who holds its secret.
Critics Sentiment
Simon develops genuine romantic feelings for Emma Russell
Tretiak's public accusations against Karpov in Red Square
The film peaks with Simon and Emma's romance around the midpoint, then crashes during the widely-criticized Red Square finale before recovering somewhat with the charitable ending.
The Saint generated mixed reactions with critics consistently praising the chemistry between Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue as the film's saving grace, while finding the plot predictable and overly convoluted. The film starts weakly with unnecessary childhood backstory, builds effectively through romance and espionage elements, then stumbles badly in its climactic Red Square sequence before recovering with a satisfying ending.
