Despite being a grim film, The Saint was dotted a plenty with comical sequences. Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue do a good job. Unfortunately, I anticipated that The Saint would be an action thriller. I shouldn't have. There was more romance than action, the plot was weak, and the ending was dumb; the bad guy is proved wrong when they show that an imaginary process to make energy actually does work.
