As some may know the incredible video game Max Payne is being made into a movie. It comes out in October and I am very much looking forward to it. I was happy when I heard that Hitman was being made into a movie, but as you know if you've seen that one, the Hitman story is hard to film. Max Payne is a great story as well as a great video game, and therefore should make the transition much better.Looking at the trailer, I am somewhat concerned to see the overt mystical elements played up so much. In the original game, and its sequel, these things are part of the story but are not overtly or objectively 'true' the story is very grounded in 'reality'. Granted it is a reality were the protagonist can use 'bullet time' and recover from being shot with simple pain killers. But there are no angels literally following him around either...
I have heard some express concern over Max being played by Marky Mark, but I think he is going to fit pretty well. I liked him in 'The Departed' and his face looks to be a pretty good match for Max from the game.
All in all I think I will enjoy this film and wait with much anticipation for October 17th.
