The movie (almost) starts in the subway, and ends on the helipad-rooftop. We see the exact same flashbacks, to the former home of Max Payne – where you see his dead wife lying on the bed, but off course with no blood what so ever. The discotheque set, uses the exact same kind of candlelit “spookie” vibe as the game. When I had seen about 5 min. of this movie, I knew exactly what was going to happen, as did the rest of the game fans in the theatre. In my world, Max Payne has been one of my favourite games, and without a doubt, one of the most action packed ass kicking gameplays I have ever played, however the movie has no action sequences worth mentioning. I think saying that Beau Thorne did a bad job is kind of wrong, I would say he did no job at all. My opinion: Exact same storyline, same plot-twist, same god damn Aesir building, no kick ass action (when he goes to Rag Na Rog, Mona spends like 5 years telling him how dangerous this is going to be – when he gets there, and you expect one man army ass kicking, he kills like 3 and has a “boss fight” for like 2 seconds.. What the britneyspears is going on?), in the game you use bullet time every five seconds just because it is so awesome – in the movie I think we see the bullet time 2 times? And finally – you can’t possibly take Mila Kunis (from That 70’s show and family guy) serious, I feel like punching Ludacris and get Nelly Furtado on a plane to cantact. I was really looking forward to this movie.. Mads B. Klynken@hotmail.com I think you should have mentioned, that the storyline is exactly the same, as the game.
