If you’re watching this movie, you’ll eventually be an accessory to a crime, as Ike Barinhotlz’s character Rick says in the trailer. “Maximum Truth” is a political mockumentary starring Ike Barinholtz and Dylan O’Brien from “The Maze Runner” francise.
Distributed by Momentum Pictures who picked up the film after the Cannes Sale. The story follows documentary crew as they follow Rick Klingmanan, an attorney and political consultant aka “political grifter” on a mission: to dig up some dirt against congressman Antonio. He teams up with his sketchy buddy Simon (O’Brien) to take down a the rival congressional candidate played by Max Minghella whom Dylan O’Brien previously worked with on “The Internship” directed by Shawn Levy. As much RIck wants to pretend that he’s not a “con artist, he is still determined to look for the dirt that can discredit the Congressman. We are in for a chaotic and hilarious film.
We have seen both actors take on comedy before and this film, is no doubt going to be a hilarious one. “The on-screen comedic chemistry between Ike and Dylan is nothing short of hilarious, and we are excited to partner with them to bring this film to audiences nationwide,” said Ian Goggins, Momentum’s executive VP of global home entertainment. From the first look at the trailer itself you can tell we are in for some classic humor and some and some physical comedy as well.

The film also stars Tiya Sircar another star of The Internship, Kiernan Shipka from the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Blake Anderson (Game Over, Man!), Brianna Baker (9-1-1: Lone Star), Beth Grant (Mayfair Witches), Mark Proksch (Dream Corp LLC), the iconic Seth Rogen and more.
David Stassen directed “Maximum Truth,” he has previously worked with Barinholtz before. Stassen, best known for “Central Intelligence,” “The Mindy Project” and the upcoming “History of the World: Part II,” also co-wrote the script with Barinholtz.
“This is a film about a couple of men who lack any semblance of shame,” Stassen said. “They will say, do and agree to anything for money and attention. It is not based on the current political landscape at all.”
