The Saint: Vendetta for the Saint (1969) (TV)

It's good, but I expected a little more, 15 August 2006

For what it is, Vendetta for the Saint is a reasonably entertaining movie with a decent plot that kept me interested throughout. If you're a fan of the television show The Saint, you should enjoy this movie, because Vendetta for the Saint isn't really a movie at all. It's actually a double length two-parter that's been combined into one single entity. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that. I enjoy The Saint. But I expected a little more from something marketed as a movie. I expected more in the way of set design, special effects, and the overall feel of the movie. However, I should point out at least one area where Vendetta for the Saint excels – locations. The location shots of Palermo (at least I think it really was Palermo – it looked how I imagine Palermo looking) are breathtaking and beautiful.

Overall, if you're fan of The Saint, you should enjoy Vendetta for the Saint. But if you want something that goes beyond The Saint, you might be disappointed.

6/10
