Based on the video game from Rockstar, MAX PAYNE stars Mark Wahlberg as a New York City cop out to avenge his slain wife and child, and heaven help anyone who gets in his blood-strewn way. The trail leads him into a network of shady characters mixed up with an experimental drug that causes super strength and fearlessness, as well as wild hallucinations of winged angels and demons. As Max gets closer and closer to the truth, he finds himself the target of a massive police manhunt, and in the crosshairs of the powerful kingpin behind the racket; soon enough, the angels and demons become downright deadly. Olga Kurylenko (QUANTUM OF SOLACE) is a beautiful Russian party girl who winds up dead after a late-night visit to Max's pad; her assassin sister (Mila Kunis) first goes after Max, then tries to help him get some answers. Rap star Ludacris (here credited as Chris Bridges) is a tough internal affairs cop investigating Payne's behavior. Shot in an impressively grungy palette of high-contrast grays and blacks, with snow and sheets of rain soaking the grim atmosphere, New York City is brilliantly morphed into something like Gotham City by way of Detroit, with a touch of X-FILES-style supernatural dread looming over everything. Director John Moore knows how to stage his action scenes: offices blow up, big chunks of rubble crush police cars, bodies and shattered glass suspend in mid-air for some of the slowest slow-mo moments in action film history. Fans of the video game and/or action movies in general should get a kick out of all the mega-loud insanity, stylish design, and Wahlberg, who never changes his mean expression, but still commands the screen.Read full review
I like the title. Max payne reflects to me the phrase, "maximum pain." A person looking to complete his life by taking a position to look into unsolved cases. I came to buy this because I saw in advertisements a man going through an upper floor office window seemingly grabbed by a dark winged being. There was mention of Valkryie in the movie. Understanding they were winged North women warriors would take fallen soldiers' (souls) to Norse Heaven--only the most valient, brave...warrior. I was under the impression the Valkries were aiding Max Payne in the story. There is a video game which features a slow motion aspect. The movie had at least two instances incorporating this slow motion of a couple of high action sequences. It was not what I thought it would be but I did like the use of Valkrie incorporating the mythology with the typical down-to-Earth understanding of modern days. dock_sitterRead full review
Great Movie!! Three years ago, NYPD detective Max Payne's wife and baby were murdered. Max gets himself transferred to the cold case office where he can continue searching for the killer who got away. He's a loner, but two people reach out to him during a fateful week: Alex, his ex-partner who may have found a clue, and BB, the security chief at the pharmaceutical company where Max's wife worked. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up, some as a result of a drug on the street that is highly addictive and, for many who take it, brings hideous hallucinations. When one of the bodies is a woman Payne was the last to see alive, her sister comes looking for him armed to the teeth; Max must move fast. Exciting and Loaded with action!!!
Contrary to popular belief, Book and Game Characters totally Rock today and forever. Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg) is the good cop turned bad, that is, until we learn to hate to love him, that is. Big is better, and this is certainly as big as it gets in Tinseltown. Wow-eeeee.....! With the advent of multiple technological events culminating together at once, we all, most certainly, simultaneously witness the jump in high quality storytelling culminated in film. Before the story begins, we see a very dead Max Payne drowning one week after the untold story. This burnt out, dead beat, pencil pushing detective, who once knew happiness, has hit the dregs of society because he has nothing else to believe in. Gosh doggy. I think that we all must automatically relate to this ITEM. Max Payne must be the super-bad super non-functioning COP of the 21st Century. Why did he even trust the scum he relied on the MOST to give him the heads up on his dog sniffing capability? That's because he just did. Don't let his contacts let you believe otherwise. He was looking for what was, and still is his wife and babies murderers. He will not stop until he get his KILLER(s). The end lets us all see exactly how far he will go when comments to us "I must be seeing Angels." He gets a boost in the end from the one true source that he had been fighting all along. If you don't see any other movie thriller this year or the next, you must see this one. It will not disappoint you. BREAKING DOWN THE BARRIERS, I'VE GOT TO GIVE THIS A LEAST A 6.5/5 TOP NOTCH! IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW BY VOTING. THANKS.Read full review
I really only bought this movie as a Mila Kunis fan, but I found the movie to be confusing and maybe mediocre at best. I didn't think Mila had enough parts, I didn't know what the hell the black creatures with the wings were supposed to be... angels maybe? I don't want to completely spoil the movie by going into too much detail but I just thought it was confusing and the ending was corny. However, some good notes about the movie is the soundtrack at the beginning and some of the action in the movie was alright. Otherwise, this movie is not that good because it just seemed too incomplete by movie's end. What the hell happened to Mona Sax at the end?? Also, is it just me or does Mark Wahlberg look and sound a lot like John Cena?
