Watch Desert Saints For Free

Redundant and unnecessary.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Aside from the really annoying "flash forward" moments, this movie is pretty good -- better than I expected. I think the most amazing scene is when Banks reflects on what it's like to kill someone. It's like Banks is Jack Bauer's amoral twin -- Jack hates to kill but does it because it's necessary to save his country; Banks hates to kill but does it because it's necessary to pay for his expensive lifestyle.Melora Walters is miscast. I wonder if the role was originally offered to Meg Ryan, since she seems to be one of the producers.Also annoying -- Kiefer spouting Latin epigrams. Banks may have been an ivy-league educated genius, but in my experience (and, yes, I do have some experience of the type!) they don't study Latin anymore.And, the last, single gunshot at the end -- I have to wonder if there was another gunshot "after" -- or, maybe Banks lets one of the targets live? Which one?

Good acting and an interesting storyline but the script is below par. As they say if you don't have a good script you won't have a good movie.Interesting premise and there is a twist (2 twists actually) to the ending which brings this up to just beyond a "B" movie. Then it stops there.Meg Ryan is credited as a producer and she certainly picks better movies to act in than produce.Our lead character, Jack, is a hired... No - wait. Kiefer Sutherland is Arthur Banks, a world class hit-man who happens to wear Jack's Ray-Bans (see 24) and is traveling to his next job. He picks up a woman for a cover and accomplice along the way. The Feds are just two steps behind him.Whomever wrote this needed some help in fact checking and reality.At one point there is talk of a tungsten core bullet that spins faster which enhances accuracy. Um, no. It doesn't matter if a bullet is lead, copper, tin, steel or gold. That doesn't affect the spin rate.The movie starts out in the Southwest. Yet they drive for at least 3 or 4 days before entering Mexico. All on 2 lane roads. Sure, I can see not making a bee line but that's a little silly.A couple of bodies need to be dumped. Not much thought is given on where to dump them so as not to be discovered. The first one is why not in the bushes? The second body is a good place as long as nobody has a sense of smell.Don't you think if the Feds were given permission to enter Mexico the Mexican Authorities would at least tag along?Not worth renting and see what else is on TV before watching.

For any Kiefer Sutherland fans this is a fantastic movie to watch.In the opening few minutes you already see him with his shirt open and thats a certain plus, as well as many other shirtless moments which take to a splendour.This is certainly a good movie, great acting, especially from Sutherland himself, though the other characters certainly play there part. Arthur Banks (Kiefer Sutherland) is certainly a good character and extremely well played. He's a very dark man with few moral highs but i certainly chose him as my favourite character, mainly as he is so different and also very charming...and Bennie Harper (Melora Walters) is also a very different character role who certainly adds a very large twist to the plot.This movie is very clever, always thinking ahead. The twists that are added certainly keep the suspense alive. It had my heart hammering at certain moments. I'd give this movie a 9 out of 10, a must see for Kiefer fans and for everyone else...a brilliant movie full of twists to get your heart thumping

This movie was exceptionally good. It's one that you watch, say, hmmm that was pretty good. Then a month later you're trying to figure out why you only rented it because you realize it was a really good movie, definitely even worth seeing again. Rent: Recommended. Buy... you're going to, just give it time. The action is entertaining, the twists are very entertaining, and you really learn to root for kiefer sutherland's character, so at the end you're going to say "oh hell yes!!" just watch it! i was already a kiefer sutherland fan from the lost boys, and this only helped in me liking his acting, very top-notch in this movie. Why haven't you rented it yet?!!!!
