a5c7b9f00b Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a police detective whose family was slainpart of a conspiracy and an assassin out to avenge her sister's death. The duo will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.
Max Payne is a undercover agent and detective in DEA who left and joined NYPD. He is out for revenge of murder of his family along with Mona Sax (damsel in distress) who is after same person who killed her sister. It is loosely based on Max Payne game.
Based on a popular video game of the same name, "Max Payne" is a film noir crime drama with a supernatural twist. Payne (Mark Wahlberg) is a cold-case detective with the NYPD who's understandably obsessed with bringing the culprits who murdered his wife and kid to justice. When Max himself becomes a prime suspect in a series of subsequent killings, he sets off on a dual-purpose crusade: first, to find the actual killer and, second, to clear his own name of all charges. The sole original element in this otherwise thoroughly hackneyed setup comes in the form of a mysterious mythological bird (surprisingly NOT a maltese falcon) that seems to be the connecting thread tying all the murders together.<br/><br/>Thanks to imaginative art direction, cinematography and production design, the movie does achieve an impressive and distinctive art deco look - i.e., denuded colors in an abundance of darkly-lit night scenes with snow flakes fluttering unceasingly through the picture. But, on the story level, the movie feels way too derivative of previous detective dramas to generate much interest of its own. The plot basically boils down to a bunch of law enforcement and criminal types strutting around in black leather jackets trying to look more bad-ass than the next fella'. As to the identity of the actual killer, look no further that the most likely of the "least likely" of the movie's suspects and you'll hit on him right off the bat. You'll also marvel at what incredibly bad shots everybody except Payne seems to be in the movie - with our hero emerging virtually unscathed from one fusillade after another, while he apparently has no trouble mowing down everybody else in sight with a single trusty pistol.<br/><br/>Chalk "Max Payne" up to yet another sinecure in the increasingly frustrating career of Mr. Wahlberg.
Now I know thats not saying very much since the only other good one is Hit-man in my opinion. But video game movies aside this was one the best movies i've seen all year.<br/><br/>One thing that makes it different than most vg movies is that it actually takes time to develop a coherent plot that stays faithful to the source material. There is little action for the first hour or so and the last 30 minutes are crammed with beautifully shot action scenes and Max's Signature Bullet time. there are only 4 bullet time scenes (i wish there was more seeing how often they happened in the game) but they are so beautifully shot that i didn't mind.<br/><br/>Wahlburg plays Max Payne Very well, i can't think of anyone who could have played him better. Many people have been calling this movie a rip off of sin city, don't listen to them they are just proving their stupidity by comparing that piece noir garbage to this great movie.<br/><br/>Whether you like thriller movies or are a Max Payne fan you should find this movie throughly enjoyable.
Max Payne couldn't be more appropriately named. Sitting through this stylish-looking but derivative, vacuous and bullet-riddled movie inflicts maximum pain.
Max Payne is based on a 2001 video game of the same name. The video game was adapted for the screen by American screenwriter Beau Thorne. The most common track used is "If I Was Your Vampire" by Marilyn Manson. Yes, although there isn't much of it. While in spirit and tone, the Max Payne film is very similar to the game, many details are changed. Obviously, numerous things are cut because the film runs at about 2 hours, while the play time of the game is much longer<br/><br/>The character Jason Colvin (Chris O'Donnell) is a completely new character added for the film. Max's inner-monologue and "comic book" style narration are almost completely cut, except for minor bits in the beginning and end of the film. Jack Lupino's origin is revealed,he is portrayeda "test subject gone mad" in the film. He was given Valkyra sort of "super serum" for soldiers in the War on Terror, and, like almost all the other test subjects, eventually went insane. In the game, Jack Lupino dies in the first section, whereas in the film he dies in the final act. Also, in the game, Max kills him, while in the film, he is killed by B.B. Hensley. Nicole Horne does not die in the film.<br/><br/>Unlike in the game, Mona Sax is not hired to kill Max by Nicole Horne. Mona is not wounded or presumably killedshe was in the game. However, a slight reference is made to that game scene in the film,she is last seen in an elevator. Jim Bravura is no longer the Chief of Police, but instead an Internal Affairs detective, and is turned from an aging police veteran to a young, upstart, and wise cracking detective. All of the dream sequences from the game are cut, and had they not been cut, the film would have most definitely received an "R" rating. Valkyr is explained much more in the film, and displayed on filma massive hallucinogenic drug, still created by Nicole Horne's company, Aesir. In the film, however, it was a failed "serum" used on soldiers in the War on Terror to make them "fearless". The drug made the test subjects so hungry for more and insane that Aesir was forced to shut down the project, not before Jack Lupino had escaped to the streets. In the film, the hallucinations of the users are mainly demonic angels which "influence" the user's choices, and the drug also turns violent images into peaceful ones, and peaceful images into violent ones. The best way to describe the effects of Valkyr would be that it turns the user into a sort of paranoid schizophrenic.<br/><br/>Also, in the game, Max Payne killed all three men who killed his wife and daughter when he encountered them when he came home from work. In the movie, one of them got away. It is later revealed that B.B. is the third killer. Also, B.B. is a young guy in the game while in the movie, he is an older man. Yes. At the very end of the credits there is a scene between Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, which sets the stage for a possible sequel: Mona shows Max a newspaper that reports Nicole Horn to be the new CEO of Aesyr Corp. The company, against expectations, apparently thrives. One of the harshest critics of the film was 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller, one of the game's producers, who cited fundamental story flaws "that have me shaking my head in bewilderment," including the game's opening scenes being instead placed in the middle of the film. After the film's #1 opening weekend, however, he retracted his comments, saying that he was now "proud of the film," and that "This kind of opening brings us a lot closer to the reality of a sequel," to the long-stalled video game franchise.(wikipedia) In order to achieve the more attractive PG-13-rating for the cinematical release, the film was cut and edited in terms of violence and sexual contentwelldrug use. The unrated version was later released on DVD. Yes. When Max arrives at the bar to meet with Mona, the bartender says to Max, "Good to have you back."
