Max

“As far as hitting you right in the feels goes, 'Max' does an admirable job. Anyone who actually has a dog at home will probably love this movie. Kids, especially, might dig it, but for an adult who is not very fond of pets, there's nothing in the film to see apart from contrived plot points, some melodrama and less than great acting. You can decide on watching this film depending on which camp you belong to.”

“Tugging at the heartstrings, this movie has enough innocence to get you misty-eyed.”

“A must-watch film for canine lovers and those interested in emotional dramas.”

“The film has a few action scenes that are well shot, though on the whole the opening sequence of the dog on the front line in Afghanistan was much more tense and suspenseful than the later scenes. Ultimately, I can't help feeling that Max would have been more interesting if the story focused on a dog on field duty or on a battlefield. The approach taken by the film does make Max an unusual family film, but it also makes sure that it remains despite its interesting premise, a highly conventional one.”

“In its entirety, Max is one of those movie which people of all age groups will love. With a fair share of gut wrenching moments, Max will make you cry for him, root for him and make you a part of his journey as he goes from being a war dog to an integral part of the Wincott family. All in all, Yakin will leave you misty-eyed with his tale of youthful romance, boy-dog relationships and lots of drama with bad guys all around.”
