Max (2002)

Max takes a bit of time to get started, but once it has, it’s a compelling story of a young, neurotic Adolf Hitler. Torn between the call to be an artist and the pull towards German patriotism, Noah Taylor plays Hitler with the agitated jumpiness of a desperate tweaker. John Cusack brings a higher quality to his role as the Munich art dealer with the power to guide Hitler towards the career he is unsuited for or see him fall deeper down the path of propaganda and anti-Semitism.
