Max Payne is a maverick cop - a mythic anti-hero - determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murders of his family and partner. Hell-bent on revenge, his obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmare journey into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal.

Oscar® nominee Mark Wahlberg (The Departed) stars as Max Payne, a man who has little regard for rules - and nothing to lose - as he investigates a series of mysterious murders that could be tied to the death of his wife and child. But there are massive forces, both real and beyond imagination, that are conspiring to keep the devastating truth hidden - and Max forever silenced.

Joining Wahlberg in MAX PAYNE are Mila Kunis as Mona Sax, a beautiful Russian mobster and assassin; Olga Kurylenko (who stars in the upcoming James Bond film Quantum of Solace) as Natasha, Mona's thrill-seeking younger sister; Chris "Ludacris" Bridges as Internal Affairs Detective Jim Bravura; and Beau Bridges as Max's mentor, B.B.

People Movie Review Max Payne

I think you should have mentioned, that the storyline is exactly the same, as the game. The movie (almost) starts in the subway, and ends on the helipad-rooftop. We see the exact same flashbacks, to the former home of Max Payne – where you see his dead wife lying on the bed, but off course with no blood what so ever. The discotheque set, uses the exact same kind of candlelit “spookie” vibe as the game. When I had seen about 5 min. of this movie, I knew exactly what was going to happen, as did the rest of the game fans in the theatre. In my world, Max Payne has been one of my favourite games, and without a doubt, one of the most action packed ass kicking gameplays I have ever played, however the movie has no action sequences worth mentioning. I think saying that Beau Thorne did a bad job is kind of wrong, I would say he did no job at all. My opinion: Exact same storyline, same plot-twist, same god damn Aesir building, no kick ass action (when he goes to Rag Na Rog, Mona spends like 5 years telling him how dangerous this is going to be – when he gets there, and you expect one man army ass kicking, he kills like 3 and has a “boss fight” for like 2 seconds.. What the britneyspears is going on?), in the game you use bullet time every five seconds just because it is so awesome – in the movie I think we see the bullet time 2 times? And finally – you can’t possibly take Mila Kunis (from That 70’s show and family guy) serious, I feel like punching Ludacris and get Nelly Furtado on a plane to cantact.  I was really looking forward to this movie.. Mads B.
