Max (Cole Williams) is a 16-year-old L.A. high school student who has already begun to emulate the success of his older brother Harry (Bryce Johnson), a 23-year-old former boy band idol.
Even though Max is attracted to Harry's ex-girlfriend (Rain Phoenix), he would like to see Harry reunite with her because Max believes she could be a stabilizing factor in his brother's wayward life.

 Max - The Movie review
The eponymous Max — a Jew from a wealthy, middle class, German family — has returned from the Great War (minus an arm) to Munich and has opened, in a dilapidated railway yard, a successful gallery selling art.
Max rejects Hitler's art as banal and totally at odds with the modernism he himself has embraced with such enthusiasm but out of compassion he encourages the aspirant artist to continue to strive deeper.
We also learn about Hitler’s notions of German racial purity, a purity he claims is analogous to that of the Jewish people, a concept that would exclude German patriots such as Max and his family and which he does not find incongruent with having Max as a mentor.

 Max DVD at Video Universe
MAX, directed by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Menno Meyjes, stars John Cusack as the title character, Max Rothman, a German-Jewish man who lost his right arm while fighting for his country during World War One.
Meanwhile, Hitler's artistic output is largely unimaginative, and Taylor's performance as the future dictator and mass murderer is far from flattering or sympathetic.
A smart and unusual film that handles its delicate subject matter well, MAX is a engaging look at the lives of two men just before they are irrevocably altered.

 Max - movie review
MAX follows the path of two disparate German characters, who meet and form an unlikely alliance in Munich, Germany in 1918.
The young man soon reveals himself to be an intensely unlikeable figure, as well as a clear anti-Semite, and yet the Jewish Max, as usual defying convention, takes an interest in the unknown soldier and becomes his unofficial mentor and benefactor.
MAX is a daring and unusual film, which just manages to work, mostly because it is all brought to life so enthusiastically by the cast and first time director Menno Meyjes, who also wrote the screenplay.
