AN OK FILM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER

MAX PAYNE It seems that while most movies based on a game are usually poorly received [and usually for good reason] Hollywood continues to make these movies in hopes that fans of the game will come out to see the movie. Now I am not one of those people who are against this concept as I have enjoyed most of those movies, including this one. Now this film is far from a classic and to be honest isn't great but it is good. I tend to turn the old … more

2 ½ Stars: Visually Impressive But the Very Hollow Plot hampers the Film

A review of the Unrated Director's Cut: Video game to movie adaptations are almost a dime a dozen. Sure, there have been more misses than hits. I liked the movie adaptation of "Silent Hill", have very mixed feelings about the "Resident Evil" franchise, and I thought the recent "Hitman" adaptation was quite mediocre.

So while I didn't expect great things from a movie based on such flimsy material...I at least expected some ACTION!! For much of the movie, though, PAYNE is paced like a methodical police procedural with occasional very brief bursts of action. By the … more

With comatose and sterile acting, this is one clunker to avoid

I remember seeing the trailer for this movie and still not having a clue what it was all about, I was confused by it but then saw the movie anyway because my boyfriend really wanted to, bad mistake...after the movie was finished even he though that Max Paine was a pain to watch. With flaws up to the kazoo, it's hard to pin point why this movie sucks. I have never played the game but that shouldn't be the reason why it was unclear what the heck was going on. Mark Wahlberg … more
