Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Living here on Guam, I thought it presented our island well. Would it be nicer for it to have better actors and story, yes, of course. But for what it is it wasn't too bad. I have seen far worse (unfortunately) but generally my friends here liked it. And it did get Guam more attention than the millions the government and its visitors bureau waste on cheesy islander adverts. The film was just too plain and has a dreadful lead actress. I think Joanna Crupa was her her name. Painful to watch and brought the whole effort down in my opinion. I thought the Max was okay. Not bad as an actor or star. Our own Tawney Sablan was the best thing about the film. She was cute and more believable than the bimbo playing her older sister. I like it that they used a local talent in such a big part and that really added to the enjoyment. I also thought the photography of the island was good. I heard from my nephew that the film went through many changes and more shooting in Los Angeles to add stars like David Carradine (R.I.P). He had seen a different version which he said made more sense but I thought this version was okay. Except for that stupid blonde actress! She was horrible. Go Tawney!

I found this film on the bottom shelf of the video store I go to and I gave it a shot. Stupid me: It was on the bottom of the shelf for a reason....This want-to-be martial arts film takes place here on the island of Guam (BTW, the Government of Guam got duped into giving the producer and director the budget for the film in hopes of encouraging tourism on the Island. Of course all the producer and director gave them was a stupid worthless movie. It seems the producer and director got 800,000$ from the Government of Guam for a 3rd party loan and then the film makers defaulted on the loan, formed a new company and bought back the film for 9,000$. And of course Guam is out the 800,000$...).Two sisters steal a jade statue from some Japanese gangsters and Max Haovc, visiting the island to photograph something or another, helps the sisters out. Max Havoc (yeah, that's his name. You kinda get an idea about how good the script is to a film where they name their main character Max Havoc) was a kick boxer who killed a man in the ring (we know this from the 450 times the incident is shown in SLOW MOTION FLASHBACK).The martial arts fights are 4th rate, the acting is 5th rate, the music is 6th rate, the direction is 7th rate and so on...The whole movie has a "rip-off" vibe to it. Carmen Electra is billed as the star and she's in it for about 45 seconds, so yeah, it's one of those "rip-off" movies on the bottom of the video store shelf. It's best to just leave it there, collecting dust.Don't waste your time or money. Seriously God awful....

The Movie is p*ss-poor and stupid. I fell asleep about 45 minutes into it cause it was so dull.The story is about some kick boxer turned photographer (badly acted by some dumb German chump)who goes to Guam and takes some photos of the beach. He meets up with two girls in swimsuits (they don't take em off, sad to say, cause the chicks weren't hired for their acting ability) who are being chased by the Japanese Mafia. It's suppose to be an action movie, but the action is dull and is amateurishly done. I fell asleep during some supposed action sequence where everybody's fighting in slow motion, or something like that. When I woke up the film was over and I took it back to the video store and said it didn't work in my DVD player and they gave me credit for a free movie. The guy working behind the counter said that a couple of people have rented the title and they all have come back and said how sh***y the movie is. I told the guy he should just throw the thing in the trash and he did.

I just saw the movie Max Havoc at a theater on Guam. I did not like the beginning but as a whole it was enjoyable. Most of the fight scenes were actually pretty good. There are some talented martial artists in this movie. It would be tough the fake the level of skill they demonstrated.A large portion of this movie was shot on Guam. The first part of the movie is weak but it does get better as it goes along. It has the feel of a seventies TV show. With that in mind it was not bad. There are a few remarks about sharks which are not true. Sharks have never really been a problem on Guam. The beauty of Guam as a location for a movie easily stands out. For anyone who is somehow connected to Guam this movie is a must see.
