I have to say, as a big fan of the original game I was incredibly skeptical when I first heard about this project. Max Payne was one of the few video games that completely sucked me into the story and game universe; and I was afraid it would end up like all the rest of the failed game movies. I vaguely remember reading when Wahlberg was signed on, but I ignored it already fearing the worst. However, after watching it I am totally excited about it now. It sort of reminds me of Sin City with a surreal feeling about it, and it definitely captures the game's atmosphere perfectly. From what I've seen so far and with the terrific cast assembled, this should break through to the mainstream in a big way. Can't wait!
