Max Payne Review

By: Michael Lee

Starring: Marky Mark, Mila Kunis, Ludacris
Year: 2008

When It Comes To Videogame Movies, I Am Never Satisfied. I Dicided When I First Saw The Trailer A Few Months Ago I Wasn't Gonna Check Out This Movie, And The Only Reason I Saw this In Theaters Was Because My Neice Wanted To See "High School Musical 3" And It Was The Only Other Movie Starting At The Same Time. However, This Movie Wasn't A huge Disappointment. It Had Some Sloppy Camera Work Once In A While, And For Some Reason, They Use A "SAW" Mixed With A "Sin City" Like Color Sceme, Heavily Over Dosing On The Blues, Grays and Oranges, With A Few Unnessicary Reds thrown In When Someone Gets Punched. Since I Wasn't Expecting Much, This Movie Pretty Much Blew My Expectations Out The Window. In No Way Was The Movie Good, But Dangit If It Wasn't Entertainment. Mark Wahlberg (For I Will Forever Call Marky Mark, My Second Favorite Walhberg After Donnie, Which Most People Know from The New Kids On The Block, but I Know Specifically As The Dude Who got His Head Smashed Between Two Blocks Of Ice In "SAW II") Stars As Max Payne, Mila Kunis Played A Foul-Mouthed Femme Fatalie, Ludicris Played A By-The-Book Detective, And That Dude From "Batman Forever" Who Played Robin Also Had A Role As A Corporate Manager. Each Added Their Own To The Movie, Only Increasing My Intrest. I Guess Since I Saw "The Super Mario Brothers Movie" I've Been Biased Against Video Game Movies. I Still Haven't Seen "Silent Hill" Or "Hitman". "Max Payne" Mixed Mythology, Drugs, And Corupt Government Smoothing Into One Movie, And Although It Could Be Alot Better, It Could Also Be Alot Worse.

5 out of 10 Nerdism Nerds.
