I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

So much average

Lack of good storyline.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kyle Wincott (Robbie Amell) and his dog Max are hunting for weapons in Afganistan. His superiors suspect some of the confiscated weapons have gone missing. Kyle's younger brother Justin is a disappointment to their father Ray (Thomas Haden Church). Pamela (Lauren Graham) is their loving mother. When Kyle is killed, Max is devastated and becomes uncontrollable. Max is taken to Justin during the funeral and Justin adopts him. Justin's friend Chuy's cousin Carmen helps him train Max. Chuy's other cousin Emilio is a drug dealer. Kyle's suspicious comrade Tyler Harne comes to visit and Max is not happy.The plot is more convoluted than necessary. Max as a war dog should be enough to make a tear jerker. Instead, this is overloaded with convenient bad guys with an interconnected villainous plot. A simpler villain for Justin and Max to tackle would have made this infinitely more compelling. I don't find anybody overly objectionable. It is the story that needs some cleaning up. Also, I was hoping the Mexican kids could buck the stereotype but they end up having a drug dealing cousin. A feel-good old fashion war dog movie could be good family fun but this keeps going off track.

Always being curious (and wary) of movies with Dogs as prominent 'stars' - took a chance on "Max" and was well pleased. Directed with flare by Boaz Yakin ('Remember the Titans') and sporting a smart screenplay by Sheldon Lettich along with some input from the director. Max moves at a good pace and manages to engage all age groups - although some moments may seem to stretch its PG rating to the limits - with some scenes involving grim heavies dealing in illegal weapons - who will stop at nothing to ply their nasty trade (including possibly killing kids and dogs) this could at times seem a little out of place.What keeps it all on track are the values involving families and friends working together in the most meaningful possible ways. Max, a Belgian Malinois Shepherd begins his working career serving as a combat dog in the mid-east war zone. Situations take a dramatic turn sparking events that will alter the lives of the Wincott family forever. Justin Wiggins does very well in the role of the Wincott's rebellious younger son - with Thomas Heden Church as his battle hardened father - Lauren Graham as mom, attempts to offset their differences with her positive nature.German born Cinematographer Stefan Czapsky (Edward Scissorhands) delivers many striking scenes and ex 'Yes' Band member turned prolific movie composer Trevor Rabin, wraps it up within an imaginative, lush score. Action scenes are often exceptionally well staged - with one exiting scene set on an old railway bridge. For some, it might at times seem a bit over intense for its genre but this won't be noticed by many of today's users of mindless computer games and over-the-top blockbuster movies. This one though, could prove to be more thoughtful and equally as interesting as any on offer. Might even find it's well worth taking this remarkable dog for a stroll...

Nowadays there are no good dog films like a decade ago were. They're restricted to television for the quality only the little kids can get entertained thoroughly. This film is a good news for adults and not a usual story, only from the outside. I mean the story was associated with war, only in the initial segment and then the rest of the narration was somewhat feeling familiar.Inspired by the war dogs who assisted the US soldiers during the war in the middle- east of what is this film is dedicated to. A dog named Max returns States from the service after met with a disaster. Now he's adopted by a family whose son had died fighting the same war along side him. With struggling to adjust a new life, Max finds a close bond with a boy in the family and that leads to an adventure in the nearby woods where they fight against the illegal activists.The same boy from the film 'Lost in the Sun', but here he had full scope for his character. The rest of the cast as well very good, especially the dog. A good story, but anticipated a little better with more developments. Emotionally, it should have been stronger, but somewhat satisfying overall product it was. The locations were beautiful, especially the woods.The end was decent as a story, but they did not get it right in pictures. Seems there's logic missing regarding the geographical area where blast takes place. I know it won't be your top 10 pick from the years, yet not that bad to skip it. Not a dog film I hoped for, but I accept it for the todays scenario where quantity declined. So I say go for it.7/10

Max is a boy meet dog who has faced psychological trauma in a war zone film.Max is a sniffer dog in Afghanistan and his handler, Kyle is killed. Back in the USA, Max only seems to be friendly with Justin, Max's rebellious younger brother who is still at school and it is decided to leave him with Justin.Justin is reluctant at first but eventually both of them bond, however Kyle's former army buddy causes issues by implying that Max was somehow responsible for Max's death.Later Max and Justin find themselves going after some gangsters dealing with stolen weapons which ties back to Afghanistan but the police are after Max and want to put him to sleep because they have been passed on some false information about him.Kids will likely to enjoy this film. The plot is fast and loose with plenty of plot holes and descends into silliness at the end which will make adults just shrug as it is so clunky.It is also very manipulative by allying itself closely with the military and the stars and stripes which it reckons the audience will uncritically lap up. If it wanted to seriously examine the role of military war dogs and the impact war has on them it is a big fail.Worse still some of the cast are left foundering and the normally reliable Thomas Haden Church gives a pedestrian performance as the dad.
