Max The Hero Review #MaxMovie

October 28, 2015 By Candy

It doesn’t take much to make this girl cry, you know that by now. I received the movie Max to facilitate this sponsored review. Without giving the complete movie away I’ll tell you a few things I loved about it! This is Max the Hero review.

1000540443BRDFLTO_e835c18

This movie got me early on. The story of Max and U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott shows the bond a military k-9 develops with his handler is set in Texas, Angelina County to be exact. Want to hear something funny? I’m from Angelina County! Wild right? That made me excited to see the rest of the movie. Sadly there were no landmarks that I recognized but that didn’t take from the movie for me.

Watch the trailer and then keep reading:

Just from the trailer you get the feeling that you are going to go thru a range of emotions watching this film. I’ve said it before, we don’t have dogs but if we did, we’d have a German Shepard like Max. They are such beautiful animals and can be trained to do amazing things.

Without spoiling the movie for you, you know what Max’s handler dies in combat and Max returns home. The grit of the story begins when Wincott’s family is dealing with the loss of their son and brother when they get word that Max will be getting put down. As a service dog that is hard to handle they retire the dogs and if they are too hostile they get put down unfortunately. The Wincott family saves Max and the story begins.

I won’t go into more because I don’t want to spoil the movie. I watched the movie with the hubs and I can’t wait for Big A to watch it with us.

A precision-trained military dog, Max serves on the frontlines in Afghanistan alongside his handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott.  But when things go terribly wrong on maneuvers, Kyle is mortally wounded and Max, traumatized by the loss of his best friend, is unable to remain in service. Sent stateside, the only human he seems willing to connect with is Kyle’s teenage brother, Justin, so Max is saved when he is adopted by Kyle’s family. But Justin has issues of his own, including living up to his father’s expectations, and he isn’t interested in taking responsibility for his brother’s troubled dog.  However, Max may be Justin’s only chance to discover what really happened to his brother that day on the front, and with the help of Carmen, a tough-talking young teen who has a way with dogs, Justin begins to appreciate his canine companion. Justin’s growing trust in Max helps the four-legged veteran revert back to his heroic self, and as the pair race to unravel the mystery, they find more excitement—and danger—than they bargained for.  But they each might also find an unlikely new best friend…in each other.”

“Max” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99, and includes the film in high definition on Blu-ray disc, a DVD, and a digital version of the movie in Digital HD with UltraViolet. Fans can also own “Max” via purchase from digital retailers. Follow on Facebook.

I give Max 4.5 stars! You’re going to love it!

    The movie MAX is one of the better movies i have seen lately. The beginning of the movie really touched me! This movie made me respect army dogs and there handlers more than i ever did. The German shepherd dogs show you again in this movie how great these creatures are, i think everybody who will watch this movie and when it’s done you want a German Shepard too. For everyone who loves dogs, action, a good script with great actors and a fantastic dog als main character should watch and like this so I really recommend this movie to every one!
