Audience Reviews for Max Payne

• Jul 11, 2015

  Based on the popular video game, Max Payne is a bizarre revenge thriller. After discovering a link between the murder of a Russian girl and the unsolved murders of his wife and child, NYPD detective Max Payne goes rogue in order to find those responsible. Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis lead the cast, but neither of them are any good. And the script is garbage; inexplicably mixing in supernatural elements that just don't work. Additionally, there are problems with the tone of film; as the gritty cop drama clashes with the surreal visual aesthetic. Falling victim to the video game curse, Max Payne is a convoluted mess that fails to live up to its source material.

  A Payne-fully dull and predictable hard-boiled thriller occasionally interrupted by half-way decent John Woo-style action sequences.

  When this movie first came out, I wanted to see it so bad because I loved the video game, and the fact that Mark Wahlberg was in it. However, this movie surprised me in a very awful way. It sucked! Like really, whoever thought about making this out of a movie deserves to get punched in the face. Max Payne (The Movie) is just another one of those examples on why video game adaptions tend to fail. I don't know what they were thinking, but it's not hard to tell that these filmmakers were on crack during the making of this film. What's are those flying creatures doing in this film? They absolutely have nothing to do with the game. In fact, the plot is so terrible that it made this looks like something else because this sure wasn't Max Payne to me. The characters were the same, but they act completely different because of the cast. Some of those cast from the film are suppose to be talented, but they were all wasted into this junk. Mark Wahlberg can do better than this, and he's well-knowned for his best hard bitten roles. Seems to me like this was the same year The Happening came out, and he, somehow, lost his magic. He did bad in The Happening and Max Payne, but at least he got his talent back after that. Mila Kunis' performance was also wasted here, and she's usually a good actress. Perhaps this was the time where she was still developing her talents, which I reallt understand. I guess every talented actors/actress must have a bad movie one way or another. Every other cast in this movie did a horrible job providing something good on-screen. The special effects was okay I guess. Nothing special but just okay. You don't see too much of it, anyway, which is also a disappointment. Max Payne, like the other video game movies (especially Uwe Boll films) is a total waste of effort proving to all of us about why video game movies tend to suck so bad. I was expecting something better because of the hype that I had for it, but it was a complete waste of time. If any of you people had never seen this before, be blessed that you didn't. There's nothing good to expect in this pile of trash, and God knows how terrible this film is. So at all cost, skip it.

  The movie wasn't horrible, it was just bad. The plot is so boring and uninteresting now I want to see if they really made a game on this. The acting was okay, nothing award winning. The action and effects were okay, there was nothing new. The camerawork was actually really good if you pay attention. The music was nothing special, I wasn't impressed by anything I heard. The movie had so much potential, but down the line something went wrong.
