When he is taken under the paternal wing of Joe another ex-Shorty star, Calvin Tuteao , Minka's stance against sex, drugs and violence is sorely tested as he is introduced to the seedy night-life of strip clubs, brothels and bars.

Great film about a topic New Zealand's powers that be are too afraid to address. If it had omitted that one scene at the end on top of the building it would've been perfect.
Rene Naufahu delivers here an impressive first film, supported with an impeccable cast and a great soundtrack that cleverly compliments or contrasts the visual content. The Last Saint is more than a typical crime-drama, it talks of poverty, love, loss, addiction and so much more.
At no point does it glorify the "gangster" lifestyle, drugs or violence Your tv and radio won't be telling you to go and watch it sadly,you More need a big budget for that to happen but don't listen to them they mostly send you to watch mindless crap Keeping Up with NZ. An absolute must see. Sunday Star Times New Zealand. This is impressive genre fare, well-executed and intoxicating.
