how can you say it was pretty true to the game? for starters, you did notice who played Jim Bravura right?

The movie was truly horrible, the odd nod here and there just to keep the fans happy was a joke and poorly executed. IMO the movie did the two games very little (if any) justice, which is a shame because if any video game series deserved its own movie, it's max payne.

What was so horrible about it? Sure it wasn't the greatest movie, but like I said it was decent. Mark Wahlberg did an alright job as Max, but he definitely didn't capture the character how he was in the game. That smirk from the game really made the character.

I just don't understand what everyone who says the movie is horrible was expecting. I honestly don't think a movie could be made to give the games what they deserve, especially if you played through the games first.

It's like a movie adaptation of a book. The movie will almost never be as good as the book.
