a5c7b9f00b Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a police detective whose family was slain as part of a conspiracy and an assassin out to avenge her sister's death. The duo will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.
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.
My advice: unless you&#39;re an adolescent boy who&#39;s enjoyed playing the game, avoid this one like the plague. Dreadful doesn&#39;t even cover it. I don&#39;t know what Beau Bridges and Mark Wahlberg were thinking… well I do, I guess they were looking at the script through green-tinted glasses.<br/><br/>Mere minutes into the film I could see what was coming a mile off. One only needs to have played a few video games to be able to figure out that the big corporations are always evil and that the guy you think is Mr Nice is actually quite the opposite.<br/><br/>The valkyries were quite creepy, it&#39;s one of the few things I can say that&#39;s any good about the film but they&#39;re really not well used in the story and are only imaginary beings anyway so what was the point? Save your money and skip this; I wouldn&#39;t even bother with the DVD!
There was a period between N64 and Xbox360 where I paid no real attention to video games – pretty much my awareness went from Goldeneye to Call of Duty 4 and most of the stuff in-between were only names that I heard. The Max Payne games fall into that category as I was aware of them but knew nothing more than the name, so it is fair to say that I am not target audience for this film. This shouldn&#39;t be a problem though because a good film adaptation will not need the audience to be familiar with the source material to follow it or like it. Sadly Max Payne is not a good film – indeed it is barely an &quot;OK&quot; one as it isn&#39;t sure what it wants to be and as a result does many things superficially and nothing to the degree that it convinces.<br/><br/>This is ironic because the one place that the film does work is in the superficial – but even then it isn&#39;t that great. I refer to the visual style, which is brooding and mean, with a cool constant snowfall. It is perhaps heavily in debt to other films for this style but it is quite cool. The problems start with what lies beyond this because on one hand the material would suggest that film should be an almost nihilistic and bleak downward thriller with a dark heart in the narrative and characters. On the other hand though, it is also trying to be a blockbuster action film and thus needs to deliver entertainment from the usual bangs and action sequences. It never reconciles these two aims and ends up only paying lip service to both of them. In terms of the dark heart, it is only seen the nightmarish visual effects (which never make much in the way of sense) and the base motives for the characters. When it comes time for the script to do its part it fails and offers nothing in the way of depth, development or even a plot that makes a lot of sense. This continues until a point when someone remembers that they have to put money shots on the screen and then everything starts blowing up and Payne becomes an invincible warrior – however these scenes lack &quot;fun&quot; or thrills and to be honest by this point I had stopped caring With such poor overall construction it is no surprise to find the cast lost in the middle of it. Nobody appears to know what is going on around or within their characters and they all just rely on fitting in with the overall mood. Wahlberg suffers the most and this film does his star status no favours. He hunches his shoulders, darkens his eyes and lurks through the film just hoping that being all dark and moody will be enough to make him work, which sadly it is not. Kunis is a non-presence of little note; Bridges cannot really get up for the film and just comes across like a man asleep. Ludicrous to his credit plays it &quot;straight&quot; in a way that most rappers would not, but he is not given any reward for his unshowy performance. Kurylenko shows more of her best asset here than she did in Bond – her body; she is very sexy and is memorable for this. Special mention for Wire fans goes to the presence of Jamie Hector – so good as Marlo, so wasted here in a tiny scene which wouldn&#39;t merit mention were he not in it. Nolasco is a solid presence regardless of the material.<br/><br/>Max Payne has the visual styling of a film that might have been good had it put any work into the rest of the content. Sadly it just wears other things on its sleeve – throwing gunfire in instead of engaging action, and moodiness instead of depth. The end product might fool male teenagers that they are watching something dark, meaningful and action-packed but the vast majority of viewers will just see a drab and unimaginative film that doesn&#39;t convince, engage or work.
Stylishly made, armed to the teeth and ludicrous in the extreme.
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;
