The Saint (1997)	comment	The Saint is a 1997 film based on the character of Simon Templar created by Leslie Charteris. The film stars Val Kilmer, Elisabeth Shue, and Rade Šerbedžija. It was directed by Phillip Noyce and written by Jonathan Hensleigh and Wesley Strick.In the movie, Templar is caught trying to steal a microchip from Ivan Tretiak, an ex-communist-turned-billionaire who dominates the gas and oil market in Moscow. Tretiak hires Templar to steal the formula for cold fusion from an American scientist named Dr. Emma Russell in exchange for the $8 million needed for him to reach $50 million, the amount Templar needs in order to retire from thievery for life. Assuming the identity of Thomas More, Templar locates Dr. Russell and attempts to get close enough to steal the formula, but things get very complicated shortly after he realizes he is falling for her...In this version, Kilmer's character does not claim to be the Simon Templar created by Charteris. He is, in fact, an orphan who chooses his name, Simon Templar — the first name from Simon Magus, and the last name from his childhood heroes, The Knights Templar. He refers to himself as Templar only during a flashback sequence at the start of the film.It should be noted that a) fans of the Saint loathe this movie and b) Leslie Charteris is never mentioned in the credits. Ironically, despite the noted dissonance between this film and the rest of the franchise, it was produced by the same producer who oversaw the 1960s Roger Moore TV series and 1978 Ian Ogilvy revival, and Moore himself provided a voiceover cameo. Even more ironic, for the novelisation of the movie, Burl Barer, a noted Simon Templar historian, was commissioned to write the book, and he took the opportunity to add elements of traditional Saint continuity to the book; around the same time, perhaps to absolve himself of the sin of being connected to this film, he wrote a "traditional" Saint novel, Capture the Saint, which was the first new Saint novel in 13 years.

Except Emma completes the formula and Simon gives it to Tretiak's scientist (who is not aware of Tretiak's new plan) completes the work and gives it to Tretiak. Simon also tells Karpov to agree that he supported it. It works, Karpov is hailed as a hero, and Tretiak and his allies are arrested.

It's not until Emma talks to them about halfway through the film that they finally, after years of hunting Simon, get that his aliases follow the motif of being named after Catholic saints, for starters. They have what looks like a dozen different sketches of the various appearances Simon has been sighted in and still don't realize he's standing right in front of them going through an airport security line. One is ready to dismiss him because his accent is different, although the other points out that he could easily be faking it and he has the same eyes but a different build.

Tretiak's associate in Moscow keeps Simon online (he was using a dial-up modem over a phone line) while Ilya is in London using a laptop with a tracing program to track down the location while on the move. By the time Simon catches on, they've found the hotel (and murdered the receptionist) and have found the room with the phone line he's using. Fortunately, he planned for that too. Simon had another small hotel room and setup a remote wireless modem. So while they are shooting up the room, Simon is able to pack a bag and escape.

The Saint (1997) / int_cbe687ab	type	Corrupt Corporate Executive
The Saint (1997) / int_cbe687ab	comment	Corrupt Corporate Executive: Ivan Tretiak. The reason Moscow is undergoing a freezing crisis that has people on the streets rioting and burning everything they can afford to burn in order to keep warm is because he siphoned the oil from the city's heating reserves and hid it in the basement of his home, he invests in cold fusion technology (and when it looks like the tech is useless, he swindles President Karpov into buying it from him... and tried to capture Dr. Russell (so she would make the technology work... and then kill her so he would have exclusivity over it)), hires Simon to steal the technology (and then tried to kill him so he wouldn't have to pay), and performed all of these things so he would be able to perform a coup and take over Russia (with full intent of moulding it back into the superpower it was on the Cold War).

Simon held out until the priests left, then picked the lock to the pantry.

As Tretiak tries to escape the rally, General Sklarov orders his troops to catch him and apologizes to President Karpov, blaming a miscommunication in the chain of command. He's still arrested.

The Saint (1997) / int_fada6ffa	comment	Lost in a Crowd: Simon's first heist has him escaping from Tretiak's goons by means of dressing like a hobo and walking alongside another one through Red Square (it helps that it was full of people like that as a result of the heating crisis) and ditches it appearing as a tourist. Later Simon manages to go to Emma's lecture in the last scene and sit right next to the lead Scotland Yard detective that is hunting him down almost unnoticed because of his disguise and even briefly trolls the guy (his partner does notice and frantically waves to him and he realizes too late). Once he ditches it, his costume makes the police confuse him for some random British guy that is dressed the same... and the latter gets tackled by the cops as a result.

In a lecture, Emma provides absolutely no theoretical background or experimental results on which to base her discovery other than to simply write the finished formula on a chalkboard. She openly admits that the entire discovery was based on a gut feeling and hand waves the authenticity of her formula by claiming it's too beautiful to be wrong. Nobody in her audience (who are implied to also be trained scientists) objects to this.
