I went to a screening of max payne a couple of weeks ago, and I found it to be almost unwatchable. There is nothing interesting about this movie, the acting is mediocre, the script is non existant, the characters are in no way engaging. The visuals are pretty good, but it is almost exactly like sitting behind your friend while they're playing the game, although when you're watching your friend play you're at least routing for the *hero*. Mark Wahlberg makes sure you're not bothered whether he lives or dies.
The highlight of the movie is Chris O'Donnell, not that he's any good, but it's at least a little interesting to see what he looks like these days.
This movie makes my top 25 worst movies I've had to sit through, that makes it WORSE than Vampire In Brooklyn. Uh hu. Don't go and see this movie, even if it is part of your job.
