So I'll admit it. I like this movie. A lot. If you've looked around at the other stuff I've done here on Spout, you know that I like James Bond films. The way I look at it is like this: "The Saint" is a James Bond movie with a big toe (maybe couple more) dipped into the pool of reality. The Saint's gadgets are believable, he can create disguises, he steals stuff. It's just cool. Women don't fall into his arms. He's secret. He's dangerous. He's a loner. He has a really bad fake South African accent. Really bad. But don't let that ruin it for you.
So here's a quick driveby of a fraction of the things I like about this movie:
*The soundtrack
*Black Rangerovers driven fast
*Bad Russian accents
*"Hit squads" moving with complete impunity throughout major international capitals
*Sweet late 90's computer technologies (email! encryption!)
*Snuggly english cottages
