it was a payne seen this movie.


Cop film are a great delicatessen, always showing the life of a officer, and he duty, and family. Some come from the bad Training Day to the underrated Narc. Life are always broken from the start, then later explore the madness they take, to get the job done. Then there some that just all about the action, from the Beverly hill cop series, to the bad boys film. Enter Max Payne a very new cop film that does have all the action but so little of the drama, and is based on a video game. Heres the review:
Max Payne(Mark Wahlberg)have a blessing life with a wife that gave birth to their first son, and a great job as a homicide detective, on the nypd. Until it came down one day arriving home to find he's love one death, in bed, now he is off for some vengeance's, that take him to explore the many criminal faces that he confronted to find the true to her wife death. Accompany by a female mobster Mona Sax(Mila Kunis) who also is asking question to her sister murder. They discover a whole new drug that making head in the underworld, that's connected to a corporate conspiracy,
But for Max Payne is revenge the name of the game.
Mark Wahlberg gave a great performances in the departed, that gave him a nomination, as bad cop he play, he doesn t bring nothing new to this character, he very well be the next dirty harry of this decade. Mila mean girl look, didn't cut it, cause really she more of a Hill kind of girl, here she's more of a machine gun woman, that demand more lower prices for her close. Ludacris, better stick with more on he's rapping, cause really he doesn't even have a good cop look.
Beau Bridges, was more of a father figure than of a best friend.
The visual were good, taking note to some film from trainspotting to sin city. It doesn't follow the black and white, but more of a gray tone to give that crime drama fell. The film try to have the same feel of other action film, but really it come of cross of blade with some visual of Constantine.
The whole valkyrie illusion, made it more interesting, but sometime confuse it cause you don't know is those thing are doing the killing or is it Max doing it.
The shoot out were great, a very john woo touch, but thank there weren't any dove, to follow, there little bullet time in the film, but it made it look cheap, cause they didn't made it as the matrix, but more of Chinese style. From film like The Hard boil to Die hard, the film feel more of a cliche, cause is all about payne looking for some payback, without discovering the drama of it.
So the film is a blend, of all action cop film, with so little of drama, video games movies have always end very badly when release. But there really good, ones to bad for this is more of a remake of the worst cop game call Narc(not the Joe carnahan film). the only thing that make it good is the story, of the conspiracy, from there on, well is just something that we seen in a die hard film.
