LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

featherscoff This movie is incredible, and very inspiring if you want to train your dog. The movie is a little dark, but it's also a great family movie. If you own a dog, right after you watch this movie you feel like training your dog. It has a great animal theme, and if you are a dog lover, then I assure you, that you will love this movie.I was a little shocked when I first saw this movie, because it's supposed to be kind of a family movie, but a lot of people died, or got shot. Also Ray (the dad) points a gun at Max (the dog obviously) and threatens to shoot him. A lot of the movie is based on guns, and at the beginning of the movie there is war. There is also a lot of gangs, and low lives in the movie, and all of them but one die at the end.The movie is about a 23 year old guy named Kyle who is a marine. At the beginning of the movie Kyle is on an a mission in Afghanistan, and dies, his dog named Max gets sent to Texas where Kyle's family lives. Max bonds to Kyle's brother Justin, so Justin starts to work with the dog. Justin Makes Bootleg Video games, and sells them to a guy named Emilio. A friend of Kyle's named Tyler sells guns to Emilio...

santiagocosme Max really is a movie to be watched by a younger audience or people who have nothing else to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Max is the story of a shepherd dog who helps soldiers in the Middle East. One day, during a normal operation, the soldier who takes care of him dies and Max is taken back to the US. Unfortunately, after the shock of losing his owner, and the terror of war, the dog is totally untrainable and is about to be sacrificed. At the last minute, the soldier's younger brother is given the dog and a set of adventures unfold between them. Together, they develop a strange friendship that leads them to dismantle a dodgy business of counterfeit weapons. Children, a bit of bicycle riding. Seems like E.T without all the special effects and the magic touch of Steven Spielberg.

TxMike Set in Texas but filmed in North Carolina, we viewed it on DVD from the public library.The theme revolves around dogs that have been trained and used in war over the decades. This story centers on MAX, a loyal and expert bomb and weapons sniffing dog that loses his owner and seems to be having his own bout with PTSD.Back home in Texas (really NC) MAX seems way out of sorts and the handlers think the best remedy is to put him down. But when the brother of the Marine that had handled MAX during war shows up MAX seems to recognize that he is part of the family, and the boy takes him home.The father of the family is also an ex-Marine, Thomas Haden Church as Ray Wincott, who had been injured in the 1991 brief Gulf War. His son, brother of the deceased Marine, is young Josh Wiggins as Justin Wincott. His mother is played by one of my very favorites, Lauren Graham as Pamela Wincott.So, in this fictional story that is dedicated to war-trained dogs, some criminal activity is injected. An old family friend and now former Marine who had been with the deceased brother, has smuggled some arms into the states and is trying to sell them to Mexicans.So josh and MAX, with the help of some friends, end up hunting down the crooks and helping to prevent the illegal gun sales.I must admit some of the story was a bit cheesy but we enjoyed it anyway.I was also impressed with young Mia Xitlali as Carmen, who helps chase the crooks and in the process takes a pretty good liking to Josh by the end.

c-roystonwebb The best movie i have ever watched. Its shows how intelligent dogs are and it also shows love between dogs and there fellow man. Its a film about action but there is also a lot of love. It is defiantly a must see film, It doesn't matter if your on your own or with your kids its the perfect film for everyone. When i first heard about this film i thought it would be alright, just another animal movie but this film was fantastic.I couldn't take my eyes of the screen it was that good ,it is absolutely a film i will tell everyone about been cause everyone,should get the chance to see this amazing film.The heart stopping scenes in this film were amazing, i don't want to spoil any details because that would ruin the story of this amazing film. I hope in the future they bring out a Max 2 or bring out the same sort of film again in the future because now i have seen this on chance go buy the i must see another one thats how good it was. Anyway to finish my review all I'm going to say is if you have the chance buy the film and sit down and watch because i promise you, you won't forget this film after you have watched it.
