Review of Max Payne (2008) by Asif K — 02 Oct 2011
Short Review.
Rockstar Games' double-gunned action franchise comes to the big screen thanks to director John Moore (The Omen) and Mark Wahlberg, who embodies the title character of Max Payne, a widowed cop hell-bent on delivering justice no matter what the cost as he investigates a string of killings in his city.
Starring, Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Olga Kurylenko , Amaury Nolasco , Chris O'Donnell , Donal Logue , Kate Burton.
Directed by John Moore.
Wow this was such a weird movie. I mean ok this is a noir action film that is a little sister of Sin City, PG-13 one. it is based on a video game of the same name, I hope the game is not so oddly complicated and silly the way this movie is. a very illogical plot it has and I didn't had any idea where this movie was heading, I mean overdirection. one of the worst movies of 2008.
Mark Wahlberg gave a trashy performance as usual. the rest of the cast isn't that good too. screenplay was extremely flawed. direction was awful. the video game fans would be disappointed.
It however had some good CGI action and production design, some scenes were really nice to watch but the rest of the movie being severely awful, you don't feel good for anything else happening in the movie.
AVOID IT.
