Instead it\u2019s full of explosions, gunplay, violent death, and assorted scares.\u00a0 Kids today, perhaps the prime audience for \u201cMax,\u201d could be troubled by some aspects of the movie, but ultimately they will acquire a real-life, vicarious experience involving the death of a 14-year-old boy\u2019s brother (shown graphically in a scene from Afghanistan) and the violence involving gun smugglers, one of whom violates the Marine code of behavior by being involved in the theft and sale of AK-47\u2019s and a bazooka.<\/p>\n<p>The movie stars Josh Wiggins in the role of Justin Wincott, an actor who last appeared in \u201cHellion\u201d\u00a0 about a heavy metal obsessed 13-year-old delinquent) and \u201cLost in the Sun,\u201d about a newly-orphaned teen who bonds with a small-time crook.<br \/>\nIn \u201cMax\u201d Wiggins\u2019s character opens as a kid who could possibly turn bad.\u00a0 He is already distanced from his mom, Pamela Wincott (Lauren Graham) and dad Ray Wincott (Robbie Arnell), but in the tradition of Warner Bros. pictures targeted to youth becomes a good kid thanks to his friendship with a Belgian Malinois.\u00a0 The 14-year-olds redemption is old hat, but the story has some earned, tearful moments, and the transformation occurs through organically developed plotting.<\/p>\n<p>Boaz Yakin, who directs and co-wrote the movie, is known for his most recent \u201cSafe,\u201d about a girl with a numerical code buried in her head who is pursued by a Russian mob and corrupt New York City cops. Yakin is no stranger to tales of crime, exploiting his talent in developing a story about a 14-year-old with intimate knowledge of a small gang of gun smugglers, pursued not only by men who would like to see him dead but by a person he considered a pal who thinks twice and three times before shooting the otherwise bland lad.<\/p>\n<p>The film opens in Afghanistan as Raymond and Pamela\u2019s 20-something boy Kyle Wincott (Robbie Arnell), a dog handler whose Belgian Malinois Max (played by one Carlos), is trained to search for guns which the local people are selling to the Taliban.\u00a0 In a firefight he is killed, the death reported in the usual Marine style by a pair of officers\u2019 trip to the young man\u2019s parents, who decide to adopt the dog that was loved so much by their deceased son.\u00a0 At first the angry Justin wants nothing to do with the animal but with the encouragement of the tough-talking teen Carmen (Mia Xitlali), a cousin of Justin\u2019s best friend Chuy (Dejon LaQuek). Tyler Harne (Luke Kleintank), a Marine who fought in the same outfit as Kyle, befriends the boy, gets a job from Justin\u2019s dad, but is not quite what he claims to be.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos in the role of Max is not only a war hero but a catalyst for the redemption of the alienated young Justin.\u00a0 But Carlos is a big dog and therefore cannot evoke the same tender emotions from an audience as small terriers like Dale Rosenbloom\u2019s Shiloh, an abused beagle rescued by the 1996 movie\u2019s heroes, or like Greyfriar\u2019s Bobby, the wee terrier who, after his owner\u2019s death guarded the man\u2019s grave for years until his own demise.\u00a0 Rather, \u201cMax\u201d comes across as adult fare suitable for kids who will not become too upset by a rogue Marine or too irritated by a bratty best friend of Justin who gets hit every so often by his cousin, Carmen.\u00a0 Josh Wiggins holds the movie together as a whitebread fellow who comes of age, as they say, after the death of his older brother.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated PG.\u00a0 111 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 B<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 B<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Technical \u2013 B<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Overall &#8211; B<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/mx.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/mx.jpg\" alt=\"mx\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-153206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/mx.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/mx-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/mx-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAX Warner Bros Reviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya.
