I went into Max Payne thinking I was in for another disappointment when it comes to video games being brought to the big screen, I was wrong. I've played the game and I thought it was good. I loved the whole soldiers taking a liquid drug to make them feel invincible to the whoever they were at war with, which sometimes feels like that could be coming around the corner any day now. When the head bad guy starts acting like he's some kind of god from the drugs I started thinking "Can't wait till Payne kicks his Ass!" As a story, I think it is a clever mystery story including fabled occult beliefs from the Norse mythology and when Max starts seeing them after taking the drug to get to the bad guys is pretty friggin' sweet. I felt the film ended as good as any film noir could end after the resolution of the characters. This Looks great in Blu-ray and its a good buy.Read full review
This movie is pretty good. Ii gave it 5 stars mainly for things like the special effects, also the fact that it is very appealing to the game by using the slow motion system for scenes that involves shooting and optical illusions that Max has. Even that the story starts after Max's wife and daughter are kill, the story is easy to follow and most of the time is similar to the history of the game. It is a good movie to buy. I really bought it on Blu Ray because of the upgrade in the visual and audio quality. Even that i own it on DVD, I decided to buy it on Blu Ray for the right price. I recommend you this movie if you like action movies but without all that macabre violence and gore, and also not so much, "trash mouth words".
Contrary to popular belief, Book and Game Characters totally Rock today and forever more. Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg), is the good cop turned bad (or just moody), that is, until we learn to hate to love him, that is. Bigger is better, and this is certainly as big as it gets in Tinseltown. Wow-eeeee.....! With the advent of multiple technological events culminating together at once, we all, most certainly, simultaneously witness the jump in high quality storytelling culminated in the comic book character's popularity mixed together the culmination of CGI technology and the superhero film genre. Before the story begins, we see a very dead Max Payne drowning one week after the untold story. This obsessively burnt out, dead beat, pencil pushing detective, who once knew happiness, has hit the dregs of society because he has nothing else to believe in. Gosh doggy! I think that we all must automatically relate to this superhero ITEM. Max Payne must be the super-bad, super non-functioning COP of the 21st Century. Why did he even trust the scummy characters he relied on the MOST to give him the heads up on his dog sniffing capability? That's because he just did. Don't let his contacts let you believe otherwise. He was looking for what was, and still is, his wife and child's murderers. He will not stop until he get his KILLER(s). The end lets us all see exactly how far he will go when comments to us "I must be seeing Angels." He gets a boost in the end from the one true source that he had been fighting all along. If you don't see any other movie thriller this year or the next, you must see this one. It will not disappoint you. BREAKING DOWN THE BARRIERS, I'VE GOT TO GIVE THIS A LEAST A 6.5/5 TOP NOTCH! IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW BY VOTING. THANKSRead full review
Not a big fan of Mark Wahlberg, but this movie was okay. Nothing to get out of your seat for, but worth watching once, especially in HD. This movie has a great picture in high-def, makes the movie a bit better. At times it reminds me of Sin City they way it was filmed. Outside of that there is really only a couple good action scenes, most memorable is when they remake the slow motion sequence that is in the video game. I was hoping the movie would be more grittier like the video game. But it was made at a PG-13 level - I assume so kids who actually play the game could enjoy watching it too. I would recommend renting this, but I wouldnt buy this on DVD.
THIS DVD WAS A GREAT MOVIE TO WATCH, IT HAS ACTION, EXCITEMENT, AND A LITTLE HORROR TO KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT. THANKS FOR AN AMAZING MOVIE THAT NEVER LET YOU DOWN.
