THE SAINT 2017
On Netflix, the failed tv pilot movie remake of the classic series The Saint.
It's bad. It tries desperately to be a high energy international caper adventure, but it feels tired and uninspired. The direction and editing is pedestrian at best. Too many characters and a not tight enough story. Clearly a pilot, with lots of set up and not enough pay off.
Adam Rayner as the newest incarnation of Simon Templar shows potential, he is appropriately suave, dashing and charming, but film fails to support his performance.
Eliza Dushku is great as always. Former 1970s tv Saint, Ian Ogilvy plays the Big Bad and Roger Moore has a 2 minute cameo in what I believe is his last onscreen performance.
If you are fan of The Saint, check it out. Otherwise, skip it.
