Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

SnoopyStyle 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.

Julia I absolutely loved the movie currently my all time favorite movie I can watch it over and over again :) Great for under age people very heart warming and sad at times. There was only one bit that i didn't like but overall its a ten out of ten for me .I don't know what else to say about it even my friends loved it. I cant wait for Max 2: White House Hero even the title gives us a little hint maybe My most liked character was obviously Max the main character of the whole movie but i think my other one would probably be Kyle the older brother. I will probably watch it again and i will tell some of my other friends about it too :)

muhammedamelgammal This was definitely a different type of family, animal, and war movie. It begins as war, revolves around family, and stars a dog.Max, the dog, was a marine dog used to aid and assist the marines in finding weapons and traps in different war zones. Max's owner, Kyle Wincott, played by Robbie Amell, was killed in a fire fight. Max had anticipated an attack and warned that it was not safe to advance. But Kyle's friend Tyler Herne, played by Luke Kleintank, wanted them to move forward. After Kyle's death, Max went crazy because his owner and friend had just been killed. Max was no longer useful to the marines and was going to be put down because he was no longer following orders. Kyle's family takes in Max to avoid having him put down.From there Justin Wincott, played by Josh Wiggins, is the one that is responsible for taking care of Max. Justin is Kyle's younger brother. Justin learned the value of Max, and sooner than later, they developed a bond that could not be separated. Everywhere Justin went, Max went with him. In a way, Max helped ease the pain of the families' loss, and the family helped ease the pain of Max's loss.There was a twist to the plot. Tyler was a two faced liar who betrayed what it meant to be a marine. He was selling military grade weapons to the cartel. Justin and Max had stumbled upon this discovery by mistake. From there, the story moved from the struggle of their loss to the strength of their bond.

Bob Rutzel Ray Wincott (Thomas Hayden Church) and family decide to take care of a very troubled Max, the canine war dog of their son, Kyle (Robbie Amell) who was killed in Afghanistan. Max takes an instant liking to Kyle's brother Justin (Josh Wiggins), who wants nothing to do with the dog. In time Justin will learn more about life and responsibility. This is not a true story but it is dedicated to the memory of 26 Handlers and 25 dogs killed since 2003 as a statement at the end will confirm. This will give all of us more of an appreciation of what these trainers and handlers do to get the dogs to perform the way they do. There will be some moments you will need a box of Kleenex nearby.Tyler (Luke Kleintank) was a soldier in arms with Kyle and visits the family. When Max sees Tyler, the dog becomes highly agitated. Later we will learn why. Justin discovers that Tyler is involved in gun running for a Mexican crime outfit. Tyler warns Justin to keep his mouth shut, and Justin knows his family will be in danger if he says anything. When Ray is kidnapped everything changes. The dog fights seem too real when Max goes against some Pitt Bulls.The photography and editing for the chases in the woods on bicycles is spot on. The dog in here is amazing and is so smart you almost expect him to talk. (7/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No.
