Film: The Saint (1997)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
The Saint

"My name is Buro Houtenfaust. I was named for a Saint who was a very wealthy man. He had the wine, the women, the songs, the whole bit, and then inexplicably, took a vow of poverty and became a hermit. Ran off to live in the forest, in the nude."

Review: This is a fun little Bond-type thriller with the element of disguises thrown in. Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue's nice acting and chemistry save it from disappearing into obscurity.

"Do you know what the worst part about being you is?"
"What?"
"Pretending to be so bad in bed."
"You son of a bitch!"

2 1/2 out of 4 Stars
