I just watched Max Payne.
Disappointingly boring, managed to capture the look of the game not so much the atmosphere. Mona Sax was completely miscast...didn't like the changes for the sake of changes...eh, it wasn't like "never watch this" material, but in all honesty barely managed to keep the interest
A few more things that pissed me off about this.
You'd think with an adaptation they'd have given some more nods to the game, maybe had a tv playing "lords and ladies" or whatever? The narrative was all but gone, I mean it didn't need to be for the whole film, but maybe more than a few sentences. The music - I didn't DISLIKE this music but it didn't feel right, something closer to the original score in this case would've been good. Whalberg, was actually bland as hell in this, I was hoping for better after shooter.
and the thing that pisses me off most of all?
No scene tied into "the baseball bat".
Yeah, I don't think I'll ever buy this.
