Three years ago, NYPD detective Max Payne's wife and baby were murdered. Max gets himself transferred to the cold case office where he can continue searching for the killer who got away. He's a loner, but two people reach out to him during a fateful week: Alex, his ex-partner who may have found a clue, and BB, the security chief at the pharmaceutical company where Max's wife worked. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up, some as a result of a drug on the street that is highly addictive and, for many who take it, brings hideous hallucinations. When one of the bodies is a woman Payne was the last to see alive, her sister comes looking for him armed to the teeth; Max must move fast.
Max Payne is a undercover agent and detective in DEA who left and joined NYPD. He is out for revenge of murder of his family along with Mona Sax (damsel in distress) who is after same person who killed her sister. It is loosely based on Max Payne game.
Why does everyone pan this film so hard? The special effects were really well done. The atmosphere and imagery of the film was sensational. Wahlberg did a really good job and the action scenes (although they weren&#39;t as plentiful as they should have been) were unique and impressive. The mixture of paranormal and terrestrial action was as well balanced as the game.<br/><br/>Admittedly, the story line was somewhat predictable and a little forced, but it what can you really expect for an action flick based on a video game?! CAVEAT: Mila Kunis was abominably bad. Despicable casting and acting. Shame is warranted all round.
Another year, another film adaptation of a video-game. I walked in the cinema with very low expectations, but surprisingly I walked out satisfied, if not groaning. Max Payne, while still not reaching the artistic heights that video-game movies have yet to achieve, is a decent potboiler and a good way to waste one and a half hours of your time.<br/><br/>Marky Mark is watchable as Payne. Here, the filmmakers decided to focus on characterization more than the game itself, making the film more noir-ish than stylized. Still trying to bulk up his action hero resume, here Wahlberg somehow slightly drags along for the ride, though in some scenes his acting is good. But definitely a step down after the great &quot;Shooter&quot;.<br/><br/>The action sequences are well-shot. They satisfy any action fan&#39;s hunger. The angelic/demonic hallucinations during action scenes are pivotal, and are arguably the best things in the film. Beautiful in an artistic sense, yet strangely what is something this artistic doing in a supposedly mindless action film? Nevertheless the film&#39;s look and atmosphere are nicely done, as per the music score by Marco Beltrami. And let&#39;s not forget Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, sex bomb… I mean, eye candy of the year.<br/><br/>My only complaint goes to four things:<br/><br/>First, the script. Why is there some cringe-inducing lines in the film? It makes a tough film cheesy. Really.<br/><br/>Second, the wasted use of actors. Some surprising faces here (Chris O&#39;Donell, Beau Bridges, Olga Kurylenko) but they are used gimmicky. You&#39;ll see as the film progresses.<br/><br/>Thirdly, the pace. It starts of interestingly, but after that the pace trods along slowly like a snail, diverting my patience and attention. Thankfully after the middle of the film the pace went back on track.<br/><br/>Lastly, the film is supposed to be an R-Rated, violent, mean spirited film and as gritty as the original games were. Why would John Moore ask the editor to trim the movie down to a mere PG-13? A teenager would not go in anyway as the film is obviously meant for mature audiences only, so what&#39;s the point in trimming? It would just anger the fans and will do harm to the movie overall. Obviously, the word &quot;greedy&quot; comes to mind. But this time it&#39;s not the executives at Fox&#39;s fault. It&#39;s the director&#39;s.<br/><br/>That being said, however, the violence is definitely a hard PG-13 in the reign of the Bourne movies and Die Hard 4.<br/><br/>Overall, decent. If you think this show kicks ass, you have not been seeing many better action movies in your lifetime. However if you are in the &quot;Wahlberg Kicks Ass&quot; club, gladly oblige to see the movie.<br/><br/>Entertainment value: 7.1/10<br/><br/>Overall value: 5.6/10<br/><br/>Delton
It's just a grindingly inert death-wish thriller.
Max Payne is based on a 2001 video game of the same name. The video game was adapted for the screen by American screenwriter Beau Thorne. The most common track used is &quot;If I Was Your Vampire&quot; by Marilyn Manson. Yes, although there isn&#39;t much of it. While in spirit and tone, the Max Payne film is very similar to the game, many details are changed. Obviously, numerous things are cut because the film runs at about 2 hours, while the play time of the game is much longer<br/><br/>The character Jason Colvin (Chris O&#39;Donnell) is a completely new character added for the film. Max&#39;s inner-monologue and &quot;comic book&quot; style narration are almost completely cut, except for minor bits in the beginning and end of the film. Jack Lupino&#39;s origin is revealed, as he is portrayed as a &quot;test subject gone mad&quot; in the film. He was given Valkyr as a sort of &quot;super serum&quot; for soldiers in the War on Terror, and, like almost all the other test subjects, eventually went insane. In the game, Jack Lupino dies in the first section, whereas in the film he dies in the final act. Also, in the game, Max kills him, while in the film, he is killed by B.B. Hensley. Nicole Horne does not die in the film.<br/><br/>Unlike in the game, Mona Sax is not hired to kill Max by Nicole Horne. Mona is not wounded or presumably killed as she was in the game. However, a slight reference is made to that game scene in the film, as she is last seen in an elevator. Jim Bravura is no longer the Chief of Police, but instead an Internal Affairs detective, and is turned from an aging police veteran to a young, upstart, and wise cracking detective. All of the dream sequences from the game are cut, and had they not been cut, the film would have most definitely received an &quot;R&quot; rating. Valkyr is explained much more in the film, and displayed on film as a massive hallucinogenic drug, still created by Nicole Horne&#39;s company, Aesir. In the film, however, it was a failed &quot;serum&quot; used on soldiers in the War on Terror to make them &quot;fearless&quot;. The drug made the test subjects so hungry for more and insane that Aesir was forced to shut down the project, not before Jack Lupino had escaped to the streets. In the film, the hallucinations of the users are mainly demonic angels which &quot;influence&quot; the user&#39;s choices, and the drug also turns violent images into peaceful ones, and peaceful images into violent ones. The best way to describe the effects of Valkyr would be that it turns the user into a sort of paranoid schizophrenic.<br/><br/>Also, in the game, Max Payne killed all three men who killed his wife and daughter when he encountered them when he came home from work. In the movie, one of them got away. It is later revealed that B.B. is the third killer. Also, B.B. is a young guy in the game while in the movie, he is an older man. Yes. At the very end of the credits there is a scene between Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, which sets the stage for a possible sequel: Mona shows Max a newspaper that reports Nicole Horn to be the new CEO of Aesyr Corp. The company, against expectations, apparently thrives. One of the harshest critics of the film was 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller, one of the game&#39;s producers, who cited fundamental story flaws &quot;that have me shaking my head in bewilderment,&quot; including the game&#39;s opening scenes being instead placed in the middle of the film. After the film&#39;s #1 opening weekend, however, he retracted his comments, saying that he was now &quot;proud of the film,&quot; and that &quot;This kind of opening brings us a lot closer to the reality of a sequel,&quot; to the long-stalled video game franchise.(wikipedia) In order to achieve the more attractive PG-13-rating for the cinematical release, the film was cut and edited in terms of violence and sexual content as well as drug use. The unrated version was later released on DVD. Yes. When Max arrives at the bar to meet with Mona, the bartender says to Max, &quot;Good to have you back.&quot;
