Max Payne

Plot:

Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a DEA agent whose family was slain as part of a conspiracy and an assassin out to avenge her sister's death. The duo will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.


Review:


This movie was 'payneful' to watch. They tried to make it look like and feel like Sin City. Problem is, the story dragged and was full of pointless fluff. I understood they wanted to make Marky Mark look depressed and sad but they really went overboard. 30 minutes in and I could really care less for either characters -- Max and Jacky from that 70s show. The constant slow-mo shots and impossible killing sprees were just silly.

The only standout in this flick was the 10 second spot that James McCaffrey got as the FBI agent -- loved this guy in Rescue Me. Other than that I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Its just not worth it.

Rating: 1.5/5
