October 8, 2009Burnt out cop Mark Wahlberg stumbles across a conspiracy involving a super-addictive drug that induces psychosis whilst investigating the case of his murdered family. Based on the Noir-inspired Rockstar game of the same name, Max Payne certainly looks the part. The fantastic visu...( read more)

September 27, 2009The cinematography of Max Payne is quite simply fantastic. Though the critics and I disagree, I found the story interesting and enjoyed every minute of the film. The cinematography and acting matched the story and the action was just enough.

June 3, 2009Kunis and Wahlberg are not bad. Thats the best I can do. Decent effects for an action movie but no where as cool as the games it was based off of.

You can't help but wonder where the fine actor in The Departed and even Invincible has gone. It's not been a good year for Wahlberg: First The Happening, and now this. full review

There are several old adages actors should follow when considering a film role: never work with children, cute barnyard animals or do movie adaptations of video games. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Max just drags on as it drags you down. If you stay and watch the endless end credits, there's a short scene that hints a sequel is coming. That's what I call real pain. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Dark, moody, extremely twisted and hard to enjoy on any level. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
The movie is styled to death %u2014 it's hyper film noir without the philosophical resonance %u2014 and it's certainly something to see. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Max Payne is content to be an efficient vehicle for the delivery of a familiar range of sensations, some of which almost rise to the level of feelings.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
A critic can stay alert through movies that would put elephants into comas, but I doubt most people will stay awake for Max Payne. full review

August 4, 2008I loved the games... Im a little wary of the probable PG13 rating, however i was wary when other movies... AVP, Live Free or Die Hard had PG13 ratings, but they turned out great! The trailer is to die for!
