"Part teen film and part superhero origin story Maximum Max may not be the best entry in either of those genres, but it is a solid mash up film with some strong performances." - Reggie Dunn, Sacramento Bee
"Maximum Max, as a superhero film, doesn't quite work. The stakes are too low, the action too small. There are some decent coming-of-age moments peppered throughout, but not enough to make it much more than a fairly forgettable film in the ilk of I Am Number Four and Jumper." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"Maximum Max certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it has some interesting takes on the traditional superhero story. It may not work well with the more mature superhero audience, but a teen-oriented audience is sure to enjoy this one." - Gillian Donaldson, Variety

Rated PG-13 for some sci-fi action violence and brief language.
