User Reviews

Nothing memorable but better than zapping

It's quite frustrating to see a such a good movie idea as The Saint go to waste again and again since the original. Past that, this version is OK to watch if one has nothing else to watch, at a time when one MUST watch something... It has here and there some bits of good humor, action and acting ,but all in all it cannot shake off the B movie feel.
