REVIEW: MAX PAYNE
02/07/09
OVERVIEW: Feel the
Payne on Unrated DVD! A maverick cop with little regard for
the rules – and nothing to lose – investigates a series of
mysterious murders that could be tied to the death of his
wife and child when MAX PAYNE retaliates to DVD January 20th
from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. A stylized
adaptation of the hugely popular fan-favorite video game,
Academy AwardÒ nominee Mark Wahlberg (The Departed, Shooter)
stars as the title character Max Payne, an obsessive DEA
agent who descends into the gritty New York City crime world
to avenge the gruesome murders of his family and partner. As
the mystery begins to slowly unravel, Max is forced to
battle enemies beyond the natural world and face the demons
inside himself in order to ensure that justice is served.
Featuring dark, edgy scenes with the action played out like
a graphic novel with neo-noir references reminiscent of Sin
City, MAX PAYNE was transformed to the screen with stylized
visuals by director John Moore (The Omen, Behind Enemy
Lines) and features gripping supporting performances from
Mila Kunis (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, “That 70’s Show”),
Beau Bridges (“Stargate SG-1”), Chris “Ludacris” Bridges
(Crash), Chris O’Donnell (Scent of a Woman), Amaury Nolasco
(“Prison Break,” Street Kings) and the new “Bond babe” Olga
Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace, Hitman).
