a5c7b9f00b 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.
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, somea 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.
Let's disregard that the movie seems to skip the plot of the games completely. It's ironic, really, because the game stories were actually better paced and presented. But the movie, well, the script is terrible, many of the characters feel really underused and - the clincher - the first (of two) proper action scene happens two-thirds into the movie. Mira Kunis' character feels completely shoehorned, a couple of things never get resolved and the whole thing just drags its heels. Whalberg does a good job playing his role, but the whole thing just doesn't hold up. It's dull, it bores and time seems to take forever to pass. Max Payne is rubbish.
I have not seen this film; but I have seen the FAQ page and it hurts to think that most if not all of the time, probably because of copyright issues, they cant make a film that is like the original video game. Look at Resident Evil, good movie, for those who never played the video games. I could not help but critique that film for the strange job that it did in melding the first 3 games into one. Yet George Romero had a script that followed the game pretty well. Now on to Max Payne, oh the principal actor, while he probably did will in the film, DID NOT PLAY THE GAME. Maybe he didn't have time, most likely, but if he did, he should have played the game. Then he could probably have made a better film. These people who make movies are, for the most part, not hardcore gamers. If Hollywood is going to make a film based on a video game, get people who play that certain type of video game and hopefully have experience in Hollywood to make the movie. I give kudos to the Director for trying to get every fan thing in the movie.
A dumb film with a great conceptual hook from a director who visualizes better than he dramatizes.
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."
