Search - Graeme Revell :: The Saint: Original Score From The Motion Picture Soundtrack

The power of the Saint lies in the music

"Revell's talents here are the key to watching the film. I've spent hours watching the DVD just to hear the music since my original audio cassette disintergrated. I'd like to find a cd version, but it's not currently available. Anyway, back to the music. If one listens carefully, one hears the layers of Simon Templar's past, present and future being revealed by Revell's masterful compositions. It is unusual to find such depth in film scores today and, as a result, Mr. Revell is probably not as well known as he should be. Just listen to the opening title sequence and the love scene between Simon and Emma in the restaurant as they describe one another. The music explains more than the dialog."

One fo the great modern action scores

"This and "Conspiracy Theory" are, to my mind, the greatest modern action scores. A poignant, playful, perfect love theme, brilliant action music unlike anything else I've heard and the added bonus of the music from the finale which was cut after the film did badly with test audiences. (Of course, the fact that Elizabeth Shue died halfway through the original version might have had something to do with the average viewer not liking it) Without this ending, the film never seemed to conclude musically, hear Mr. Revell's fantastic music here and see how it would have."

Its too good...for me anyway

"One of my favourite scores of all time (along with Thelma and Louise and Gladiator). All the tracks from score give vivid flashes of scenes from the film. Thats why I love this score (precisely for the comely and ideal presence of Elizabeth Shue and especially Val Kilmer!). I love the character of Simon Templer (Kilmer absolutely gorgeous as Templer)...mysterious, gothic (in some ways), complex, cunning (stunning!), smart and intelligent chameleon - which almost all the tracks perfectly convey. The 'main title', 'shelley monument' and 'the love theme' tracks are my fav. I used to watch some scenes over and over again on video because I really loved the music (and Kilmer...sigh). I dont need to now...I have this CD. Immaculate scoring Revell!!! This is a CD for any twisted Saint fan like me who wants a constant reminder of the gorgeous Templer and the film. My ideal romantic/action movie with the ideal and beautiful music to go with it...perfect!"
