Review: Max Payne

by

Clearly, I had to go see this movie because my man, Mark Wahlberg is in it (Can’t I still call him Marky Mark?). I was so glad to see he was in an action movie after seeing the disappointment of the year: The Happening.


Plot summary from Netflix:

Mark Wahlberg stars as the title character of this gritty crime thriller, centered on an undercover New York City DEA agent who teams up with a female assassin (Mila Kunis) to avenge the murder of his family. With supporting performances by Beau Bridges, Ludacris, Chris O’Donnell and Donal Logue.

I guess I should start off by saying I do not play video games. I’ve heard this movie is based on a video game but I’ve never heard of the game or seen the game so I’m sure hardcore gamers will have a very different and more passionate review for this movie. But, I’m just gonna pretend it’s not based on a video game because… I can.

I have to say, this was one of the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t know why, I just walked out of the theater thinking ‘Holy crap that was weird’. It had a very unique, strange feel to the whole movie.

Saying all that though, I did like the movie. There were some really awesome slow motion action scenes that were so cool to see. I thought it had a very original (albeit strange) plot line and the special effects were pretty cool.

Mila Kunis was kind of a weird casting choice but I didn’t hate her. Marky Mark did an awesome job as usual. And hopefully he is sticking to these types of characters once and for all. Please?

I would say it’s definitely worth the watch. I went with my Dad and he liked it too. It was kind of a man movie I guess.

My Rating:

Liked it
