Mark Wahlberg Lands Max Payne Movie Role


Recommended Posts

i know its a business at the end of the day, but what the hell!!!

can you just make the film GOOD, then ppl will watch it!

you only have to dumb it down to a pg-13 when its not that great!!!

Why the **** did they add angels?! I mean if the story was weak enough that it needed to be spiced up with bull**** why even invoke the franchise?

They were in his dream sequences in the games.

I'm hoping what we're seeing are part of his dream sequences or, at the very most, hallucinations. They were never supposed to be real.

AICN Review is in!

Just to quote...

Nobody comes out of this thing looking good. The damn thing's 85 minutes and you swear you've been in there for about two and a half hours by the time it's over. All the buzz you've been hearing about how this film is good is coming from people whose jobs depend on it making money. Do not give it the time of day.
Much like Jon Favreau did with Iron Man this summer, director John Moore has included a scene at the very end of Max Payne that gives you just the info you need to go into a potential Max Payne 2.

It should come as no surprise that there might be a sequel to the movie, given that the video game spawned its own sequel back in 2003. You'll have to decide yourself if the movie Max Payne makes you thirsty for more-- personally I can't imagine sitting through another minute. Special thanks to fellow critic Gerald Wright, who pointed out the sneak ending for me.

Wow! You guys are really sorry! I went and saw this movie and it was honestly very good, yes I did play the video game as well (getting one and two this week again off ebay) the movie follows the game very very closely with some minor changes because well it is a hollywood flick. And just so everyone knows they guy that wrote the game co-wrote the movie as well. Seriously give it a chance, although I think it should have been rated R because it is such a grusome story and they really should have pushed the grusomeness of the story!!!!

PS: They do elaborate on the "angles" in the movie and it really does tie into the story quite well and Mark did a very good job in this role.

I give the movie a 8/10 again like I said it is not the best movie ever but this and Hitman are by far my favorite video games movies made with DOOM at a very very distant 3rd...

a) Following the story 'closely': I've played the first game many times and I can safely say they've twisted around a fair amount of things from the original plot. They reordered and dropped a lot... to me these aren't 'minor' changes.

b) I don't think the game's writer (Sam Lake) had a say in this movie's production. I mean sure, he was the one who came up with the story 8 years ago, but going by that logic he 'cowrote' all these fan-created screenplays that have popped up on the 'net.

Director:John Moore

Writers (WGA):Beau Thorne, Sam Lake

Like I said you have to give it a chance and it is a good movie. Its just a shame you guys read a couple of reviews and say no its not good. Oh well I liked it and thought it was very good and that my opinion and thats all that matters!

Sam Lake is only credited because he wrote the story it was based off of, just like Philip K. Dick is credited for the Minority Report story even though he was dead when it was being made ;)

    • I honestly think WSL is one of the coolest things about Windows. The fact that you can type one command and now your computer also runs Linux, without any VM or OS setup is impressive. Yes, it is a VM under the covers, but what is impressive is how seamless and simple it all is.

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.
