Dutton. PlotAnthony (Papazian) is a former Marine who has just returned to his home in Arizona after a tour abroad. He suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder, frequently waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares. His ex-wife Jenny (Anderson) has filed a restraining order against him, and he has had brush-ins with the law. He befriends his neighbor Cheryl (Cook), whom he defends from her boyfriend. Cheryl's son Wade (Leabu) looks up to Anthony, and the two become friends. One night, when Anthony is about to attempt suicide, Wade comes in asking him to help his mother, who has overdosed on heroin. Anthony takes them to University Medical Center to try to help her, but she dies. A social services worker named Jolene (San Giacomo) agrees to let Anthony take care of Wade while they find him a foster family. Anthony encourages Wade to beat up a bully and restrains a teacher who tries to intervene, which brings in police officer George (Dutton) to find them after they go on a mission to find Wade's real father. Wade accidentally kills Anthony's dog and Anthony is arrested on numerous charges. Wade goes into foster care. Anthony agrees to Jolene's demands to take care of himself and she finally allows him to spend time with Wade. Principal cast
Critical receptionAggregate reviewer website Metacritic gave the film a 32 out of 100 based on 7 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.[3] Anthony Barker of Daily Variety: {{cquote|Papazian registers best as an actor, realistically inhabiting his post-traumatic-stress-tormented ex-Marine protag, Anthony... . Acting is solid if unremarkable all around, with San Giacomo the sharpest of the supporting bunch.[4]}}Simon Abrams of The Village Voice: {{cquote|There's no amount of emotional distress that macho brooding can't fix in Least Among Saints, a monotonous drama centered on a PTSD-afflicted Gulf War II soldier's search for canned redemption. The emotional stakes of writer/director/star Martin Papazian's feature directorial debut are almost exclusively defined by clichés.[5]}}Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine: {{cquote|Tonally, Least Among Saints is reminiscent of the low-rent action films released under the WWE banner... The film is simply, particularly for its sensitive subject matter, inexcusably absurd... but as a story meant to take place on some rational version of planet Earth, it's utterly hopeless.[6]}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.heraldextra.com/entertainment/movies/videos/new-dvd-releases-coming-july/article_0189c128-ee07-5392-b458-01b47f3b1e00.html |title=New DVD releases coming July 2, 2013 |publisher=Heraldextra.com |date=2013-06-11 |accessdate=2013-06-28}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=leastamongsaints.htm |title=Least Among Saints (2012) |publisher=Box Office Mojo |date=2012-11-04 |accessdate=2012-12-24}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/least-among-saints/critic-reviews |title=Critic Reviews for Least Among Saints |publisher=Metacritic |date= |accessdate=2012-10-13}} 4. ^{{cite web|last=Barker |first=Andrew |url=http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117948525?refcatid=31 |title=Variety Reviews - Least Among Saints - Film Reviews - New U.S. Release - Review by Andrew Barker |publisher=Variety.com |date=2012-10-09 |accessdate=2012-10-13}} 5. ^{{cite web|author=Simon Abrams |url=http://www.villagevoice.com/2012-10-10/film/least-among-saints-film-review/ |title=Least Among Saints - Page 1 - Movies - New York |publisher=Village Voice |date= |accessdate=2012-10-13}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/least-among-saints/6604 |title=Least Among Saints | Film Review |publisher=Slant Magazine |date=2012-10-10 |accessdate=2012-12-24}} External links
