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.
