Max Payne is a dull, derivative cheap looking adaptation of a video game.Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg) is a NYPD detective investigating the death of his wife and baby.The film has a neo noir setting but Wahlberg is a blank, he just turned up for the pay cheque.It has almost a monochrome type washed out scenes, a bit like Sin City.The script is inane as Payne's investigation leads him to super soldiers addicted to an experimental drug and crooked cops. As this is a video game adaptation you have long drawn out John Woo inspired shooting sequences.

Surprisingly good. I was expecting a mindless shoot-em-up but the plot was actually quite decent.Best thing about it was the dark setting and the CGI - reminded me a lot of Sin City, which is a very big compliment.Decent acting by Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis.
