Movie Title: Max Payne Max Payne is available for streaming or downloading. |
The Blu-ray Disc includes the Theatrical Version and the Unrated, Extended Reduce. We watched the ‘Extended Cut’ and were not disappointed. They spared no change in producing this film. If you want to perceive the best your Blu-ray system can squawk, then peek no further. It was extraordinarily beautiful—almost 3D like. I’m left to assume of some of the snow scenes and how I felt I could come out and buy the giant snowflakes—how I reached for a throw, suddenly feeling a chill.

I concept Price Wahlberg did a pleasing job portraying Payne. I was immediately drawn into the storyline with him seeking those responsible for the brutal murders of his wife and baby and how he was willing to die to avenge their deaths. His wretchedness and inflame were palpable and justifiable.
I’ve enjoyed Max Payne video games and I don’t feel that they did an injustice to the gaming fans, with this production. I could easily translate Effect Wahlberg’s character and the setting, into that of the games.

I did have to suspend disbelief regarding the pharmaceutical company and, ‘the drug.’ This is why I took off one star. For example, every person who takes a hallucinogenic drug will not have the same hallucinations, so I was a limited baffled by the huge winged creatures that appeared to be everyone’s’ side-effect, but they looked really icy, so I almost forgive them.
Several have said they felt there were lifeless moments, but I have to say I was on the edge of my seat for the entire 103 minutes. Perhaps I would not have felt so definite about the movie, itself, if it had not been such a spectacular AV experience. But considering the complete package, I do recommend you give it a try. You might want to rent it first, before buying, since this one seems rather polarizing with folks either liking it a lot, or hating it.
- About Max Payne, on the day his family was murdered: “He was, maybe, ten minutes too slow.”
- About me, on the day I sat down to survey this movie: “He was around one hour forty-three minutes too early.”
Whoever Note Wahlberg’s agent is, dude needs to glean dragged to the encourage of the woodshed. Wahlberg’s film choices in ’08 have not been what you’d call career pleasurable. Firstly, M. Night Shamalamadingdong screwed the pooch with THE HAPPENING, and then there’s this skunker. I haven’t ever played the MAX PAYNE video game, and, truth is, this cinematic adaptation is honest the kind of thing which might place off potential players of the game. MAX PAYNE the movie is so @$#%! abominable that I’m compelled to inject punctuation marks to emphasize how truly dreadful it is.
Wahlberg over the years has built up a procure for fine acting; dude was even recently Oscar-nominated for his role in THE DEPARTED. He’s not the worse thing in MAX PAYNE, but it obvious doesn’t befriend that he sleepwalks thru his role. Mostly, he rolls with one expression, which is this frozen, sorta pained examine, as if his co-actors were always breaking wind around him. Wahlberg is NYPD Detective Max Payne, currently toiling away in the lowly Frosty Case Department, elegant worthy relegated to “glorified file clerk” duties. Echoing the serve chronicle of the Punisher, the Crow and others of that murky ilk, Max’s wife and baby had been murdered and Max won’t rest until he gets his ungodly smite on. But the lunge is cool, the clues are faint. Max has withdrawn into himself and has alienated heavenly mighty everyone around him, including his one-time cop partner, who Max thinks hasn’t done enough in solving the case.
Some headway is finally made when a connection is unearthed between the slay of Max’s family and the fresh slaying of a slinky party girl whom Max had the night before taken home. And when Max’s partner is brutally whacked, Max himself becomes the necessary suspect. Vaguely teaming up with Mona Sax (Mila Kunis), a Russian assassin and the vengeful sister of the slain girl, Max haunts Unique York’s criminal underworld, tangling with fellow badges, a shady pharmaceutical corporation, and homocidal drugged-out thugsters. But what gets me is that, the whole time, Wahlberg carries that same vaguely distressed expression. What, did the film’s catering develop it Burrito Night every night?
The SIN CITY-inspired visuals observe expedient, no doubt, and there are even several flashy bullet time sequences. But, in a device, that cheeses me ever more, because, seems to me, if the filmmakers can pay so powerful attention on the special effects and the slick cinematography, why couldn’t they focus unbiased a smidgen on the epic, which is always the most crucial component? As it is, MAX PAYNE dies a lifeless, agonizing death, the final verdict rendering it a thing of style over substance, some lipstick on a pig, moonlight on a pile of poo.
All the arrangement thru, the film persists in its unpleasant choices. The mosey is inactive, the script is all over the location, and characters stagger on and off the shroud like you’re supposed to already know who they are (and I guess you would if you’ve played the game) . But, for too great time, I wasn’t certain on exactly who that cat was being played by a doughy-looking Chris McDonnell (who I guess wreaked havoc on Burrito Nights) . The camera several times makes it a point to briefly sever to McDonnell’s nervous mug, but until his astronomical office scene, not powerful detail is provided regarding this guy, leaving me paralyzed and musing who the hell is this doofus? And what was the deal with the extinct woman who happens to be CEO of that dubious pharmaceutical company? Fair how deep was she into shady shenanigans? The film leaves us in the sad. It’s stuff like that, which smacks of lack of attention to detail, which helps to torpedo the film.
Mila Kunis simply feels out of region. Worsely, she isn’t given great to do, other than occasionally spit some Russian dialogue and lunge with flair in her leathers and tremendous, titanic gun. Olga Kurylenko, the latest Bond girl, shows up for a nanosecond, but then I reflect her agent called with some pointed career advice. Hip hop artist Ludacris shows up and tries to sink into his role and net serious about acting, except that when your character’s name is Lt. J. Bravura, who’re you really foolin’? Beau Bridges is also here, probably having told his shrimp brother “Whatever you can do, blah blah blah.” But he’s got nothing on Jeff.
The trailers cheated us into thinking that there actually may be an otherworldy element to this thing, in the effect of creepy shadow angels skittering about. Except that they turn out to be mere side-effects of this experimental hallucinatory drug, which by the diagram happens to be at the crux of this whole mess. There’s a dispirited, soul-numbing tone in MAX PAYNE which wore on me and attach me in a bleak mood (I was this cessation to putting on shadowy clothes and a beret, changing my name to Olaf, and composing poetry that neither rhymed nor made sense) . For folks who indulge in wallowing in that sort of emotional scene, stick around until after the credits for one last scene which, O Unfathomable God, may be setting up for a possible sequel.
The DVD offers two versions of the film, the theatrical version and the unrated version. If you’re wondering which one to explore, hint: the theatrical version is SHORTER. To be glowing, the last half hour does retract up the stride as the filmmakers finally shake themselves out of their stupor and realize that, hey, this is supposed to be an action thriller. So, that’s something. But, for Effect Wahlberg’s sake, THE BRAZILIAN JOB can’t advance quickly enough.
Oh, and if you’re gonna handcuff someone, clap them suckers on with their hands slack the assist. That’s like, Basic Apprehending 101, brother.
