Starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, Chris O' Donnell
It amazes me that Hollywood still think there's sense in making a movie based on a video game. It was bad from the start with Super Mario Bros (financially, however I quite enjoy it). So once again it must be called upon to fill at least one cinema screen.
A moody detective named Max Payne (his parents only realised the pun after naming him) is on the trail of...to be honest I don't know. I had forgotten the moment the first gun shot had been let off.
Something to do with demonic angels, action with lots of misfired bullets and not one smile from Wahlberg until the very very end. Somewhere there could be a message of an evil corporation, but one felt that even that could bore me.
So with snow passing through the city to give an extra chill, it is possible that the video game adaptation gig should be given up altogether. This gives no hope to any future efforts. And it's almost as if because everyone is acting badly in this, Wahlberg decides to do the same.
1.5/5
