Review of Max (2000) by Gena D — 26 May 2009
For what should have been a fascinating film (it certainly has a fascinating story), it plays out rather dull and lifeless. Noah Taylor is fantastic (if a little too Brian Topp from Spaced!) as the insecure, neurotic Hitler, but Cusack's casting feels a little too light.
He's a great actor, but for some reason he doesn't seem to gel with the story. In fact, it would have made a more interesting film if they had solely concentrated on 'Young Hitler'. Bit of a missed opportunity.
