Happy 26th anniversary to one of my favorite Val movies the saint 1997 👼
Val was brilliant, funny and scorching hot as Simon Templar (and shivering like a leaf).
The saint cast at the movie premiere
"I see my angel for the first time. Know my purpose, feel my birth, Hear, at first faintly, then distinctly the sweet strains of our union. Our love heats up the cold universe And gives my tired, desperate hope A reason and season to be revealed . We, purified by our kisses, are eternally healed."
(Simon's poetry is actually Val's own poetry he wrote for the movie)
Charlie Swift is a fixer with a problem: the thug he's whacked is missing his head and Charlie will only be paid if the body can be identified. Enter Marcie Kramer, the victim's ex-wife and a woman with all the skills Charlie needs.
Aside from the dumb killer at the beginning who sets the plot in motion, and the overly happy "Happy End" it's a passable crime thriller. Mostly thanks to Brosnan and Baccarin.
Cast: Brenton Thwaites, Odeya Rush, Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Katie Holmes, Alexander Skarsgård, Cameron Monaghan, Taylor Swift, Emma Tremblay
Release year: 2014
Genres: drama, science fiction
Blurb: In a seemingly perfect community without war, pain, suffering, differences, or choice, a young boy is chosen to learn from an elderly man about the true pain and pleasure of the real world.
Celebrating the 26th anniversary of the saint 1997 .. This video on YouTube is probably the only footage available online of the alternate ending of the saint.
Unfortunately this vid is part of the old Russian VHS so it's dubbed in Russian..The subtitles are nicely provided by the provider of the vid in their comments I believe.
