Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a DEA agent (Wahlberg) whose family was slain as part of a conspiracy and an assassin (Kunis) out to avenge her sister's death. The duo will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.
Entertaining but nowt special
The film as a whole is a watchable, dark, anti-hero type film and having not played the game I thought it was ok. Mark Whalberg is so moody in this film it's actually quite funny.
However
You're left at the end of the film asking yourself lots of questions;
Why the hell did it end there?
Is that it?
What the hell?
etc etc
I thought it could've been done much better. Looking at the posters for it I thought this was similar to the likes of Constantine. How wrong was I!
Not bad tho, as usual the special effects are up to scratch, even if it does leave you thinking wtf?
2/5
*Spoilers* This is rubbish
Gosh, where to start? This was on a par with Constantine, it was that dire. Firstly, and this is probably the main point where this film falls down, the main character in films like this is meant to be a real badass, who can handle himself in a fight or shootout in an impressive manner. In Max Payne, Marky Mark just spends most of his time trying to look menacing, whilst running away from people shooting at him, getting beaten up by drug-enhanced bad guys and not actually doing much ass-kicking until the last 10 minutes, when he shoots a few people...then has a bit of a breakdown before shooting a defenceless middle-aged man. The head drug-enhanced bad guy is quite an interesting charact...
There's film noir, and then there's Max Payne, which is so dark it looks as if the negative were dropped in a puddle of ink. In the Stygian gloom of John Moore's video-game derivative, there's no contrast between light and shadow, only between shadows and slightly darker shadows. Woe to the moviegoer who shows up late and has to grope around for a seat.
Woe, in fact, to the moviegoer who shows up at all. Turning video games into movies may be one way for studios to coax teenagers away from their laptops, but this time around, the results are miserable, in every sense of the word.
His face fixed in a permanent scowl, Mark Wahlberg plays ...

Ok, so I have not read the comic - if that is the origin of this story.. I was surprised at the result of the search for the wings and flying stuff.. almost enough to say a spoiler, lol. The graphics and the determined search made for some strange bed fellows indeedy.. well, if there are more movies after this one, then I would watch. 6/10.
I have never played the Games and I did like it.It could have been a bit better but I still found it interesting,different and entertaining was worth my watch 4/5
