Gee, i have to disagree-having read most of the "saint" books, Kilmer was laughable in the "master of disguise" format.
Maybe the the makeup and wardrobe just didn't pass muster, but Val Kilmer in a fake mo, wig, looking precisely like Val Kilmer in fake wig and mo, just wasn't so great.
It's also true, the books weren't THAT great either, I just expected better and got less from the film.
Honestly, sly stallone, Kurt Russell, bruce willis, john cusack, john lithgow, er, virtually anyone, perhaps even Betty White could have done it better. Guess I'm not a Kilmer fan, IMHO, he cant act his way out of a paper bag. Maybe it was his hamtacular effort at batman that did it, but yeah, not a Kilmer fan.
