Oh, my dreams have sort of come true. Max Payne, on film. I had prayed for months that it wouldn't stink to the high heavens like every other video game adaptation.
Thankfully, Max Payne does not stink as a standalone film or adaptation, nor is it anything like the other game adaptations. John Moore's obvious goal in the film was to match the spirit, tone, and grit of the game, and I have to say that he reached it.
While I was disappointed in the lack of action sequences, I think that including even half of the action from the game would have taken away from the realism of the film, as mountains of action sequences work a lot better in a game than they do on film. The film opts for a quieter tone, and a much more thoughtful and introspective approach. I appreciated this a lot, as a fan of the game. By no means is Max Payne just thrown together to make a quick buck. It is well made, and well thought out. I was not disappointed in this aspect.
Mark Wahlberg, thank you for not failing. That would have ruined my year. Wahlberg delivers a quiet, yet subtle and intense performance in the title role as the most "pain" and "pun" inducing detective of all time. While there is a large supporting cast, I really wasn't swayed either way by any of them, besides Chris Bridges, who was actually playing a character for once instead of himself on screen. Mila Kunis as Mona Sax wasn't the best casting in the world, but Mila proves that it wasn't the worst casting either. There isn't as much depth to her in the film as there was in the game.
Cont.

As an adaptation, the Max Payne film is very different from the game in pretty much every aspect besides the tone and the characterizations. Once again, all I wanted was the tone to be right, and I got what I wanted. Though the noir aspect of the game is somewhat lacking (I missed Max's inner monologue so much), I still found it to be the dark and effective thriller that the game was. A brooding performance from Wahlberg and a matching score only add to the film. Stunning visuals, engineered by the fictional hallucinogenic drug in the film, in addition to the dark cinematography, steal attention away from the fact that the film's editing is subpar.
I have to bring to life the fact that Max Payne is not an action movie at heart. It is a mystery film with some action scenes (and some very well done visual effects). The game may have been a shoot 'em up style game, but I know that you can't do this on film and expect to be taken seriously, which Max Payne should be.
At it's core, Max Payne, despite a lot of changes from the game, remains the dark, story driven thriller that I've loved for a good part of my life. I'm proud of the film as a die hard fan of the game, and respect it for what it is as a film by itself. I'm satisfied, and not disappointed. For those who haven't played the game, Max Payne is an effective mystery film that is driven by the main character and the exposition around him. For those who will inevitably complain about a lack of action sequences, wake up and realize that Moore & company got the tone right, at the expense of necessary cuts.

Agent 47 is one bad dude! Even though I had not seen most of the actors before, I thoroughly enjoyed the fast moving action, special effects and graphics.
I was on the edge of my seat the entire movie. The story line was suspenseful and the acting was better than most in this genre. The stunts in this film were among the best I've ever seen. The filming and clarity of the audio was also excellent. I sure hope there will be some sequels, I want more. And I really think that Zachary Quinto may have found a new calling, I totally hope to see more action films in his future. In fact, maybe a James Bond role? All in all, IMHO, this is a must see if you are a die hard action film buff.
I can only imagine that some of the bad reviews are due to the movie not resembling a video game or the series, which I have seen neither. My opinion is based solely on the merits of the movie itself.

Granted the movie isn't set on a tropical island and there is no sand, blue water, caves, deformed monsters, like in the games. But. The main characters are present, well minus Doyle and that Crowe dude.
There is plenty of action and the set pieces are pretty good, the only dodgy bit was when the chopper came down, that was pretty fake looking.
Apart from that its got most of the elements of the games, and has some humor too. There is some gore (only a bit) but there's several explosions and some chase scenes. The super soldiers are pretty mean looking looking but not exactly scary-jump-out like those annoying trigen thingys from the games.
Watch the movie, relax and enjoy the mindless action!

So is The Founder any good? My interest dropped when I found out the director was the "Saving Mr. Banks" guy - he's generally speaking pretty boring.

>>79332028
no, it's lame as hell. he applies the same "motivational" tone to it as he did to his last few flicks and it comes across as incredibly false. you can see they're trying to do something like a parody, but it doesn't work at all because they don't play up how much of an asshole Ray Kroc is at all. basically, they wanted to have a success story and a criticism of capitalism at the same time.

That was my fear. Ray Kroc should be motivational, but in a very aggressive way. I was hoping it'd be more like The Social Network than Saving Mr. Banks but the director doesn't understand you can make compelling assholes.
