      Critics Consensus

      While it boasts some stylish action, Max Payne suffers severely from an illogical plot and overdirection.

      Константин Ð Movie so bad I needed painkillers Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Dick C It's the type of my favourite film, Max Payne, 2008...Directed and co-produced by a Irish, John Moore...with basing on the video game series of the same name developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Rockstar Games...Besides, I like the title character, Mark Wahlberg...with the wonderful ending, Mila Kunis acting as Mona Sax...in a bar... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Brandon B This movie as an action flick was ok. Infinite bullets except when there weren't, I wish there was an rated R version, and a baseless plot contribute to my rating of this being just ok. Good actors bad story. (Maybe this is the director's fault.) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review James B should have been rated R stick to the games saw it in theaters years ago. good visuals and mark whaleburg is good as max payne but the plot with the drug and seeing valkyries made no sense ludacris mr bridges and mila kunis are all wasted characters in this film worth a watch for the visuals and a laugh because its pretty dumb. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Devon P The story and characters were executed so poorly, I relied on the action to keep me entertained, but that probably left me even more disappointed. The main antagonist was played off as a passing easter egg, and the most important part of the narrative that was originally used to lead the story was only explored briefly toward the end. Max had no personality whatsoever and almost every scene felt like it should of been in the "extras/deleted scenes" of a bluray or dvd. Not fun. Don't watch. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Elvis D La adaptación cinematográfica de Max Payne muy difícilmente ha logrado complacer a los fans del videojuego original, por más que el director quiso complacerlos lo mejor que pudo. Pero en realidad se trata de una película policía bastante decente con un muy buen estilo Neo-noir. Tiene una historia sencilla, pero con ciertas indirectas hacia ciertas cosas que solo se pueden por medio de los diálogos. La película empieza de una manera simple ofreciendo una historia de investigación criminal y que de a poco va subiendo el nivel hasta llegar a la acción esperada. Mark Mahlberg en realidad hace muy bien su papel como Max Payne. La película logra plasmar bien el estado psicológico por el que Max está pasando tras la muerte de su familia. Visualmente, es una película bastante buena por su producción y fotografía que le dan un estilo Neo-noir bien logrado. En ese aspecto, Max Payne funciona muy bien como un policial negro. Lo que sí requiere es de mucha paciencia y concentración, ya que los diálogos son importantes para entender la historia. Como adaptación no puedo decir nada debido a que desconozco por completo el material original. Aun así, me atrevo a decir que Max Payne es un respetable thriller para pasar el rato. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Empire Magazine This tired, neutered action thriller won't cause you max pain, but you might wince every now and again. Rated: 2/5 Nov 14, 2008 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out John Moore directs the hell out of the action, while Jonathan Sela's glistening photography captures the snow and rain that fall on these bloody New York streets. But you'd have to be on crack not to guess the 'surprise' finale. Rated: 2/6 Nov 14, 2008 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This movie is quite bad on every conceivable level. Rated: 1/4 Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...has a supernatural subtext that feels bolted on to the hard-boiled feel of the game... Rated: 2/5 Oct 7, 2021 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk Max is possibly the first game character to be better acted in his game than he is in his movie, John Woo-inspired action is almost entirely dropped and the film is just dull.
