Holy crap, Mark Wahlberg eh? The trailer makes the movie look almost exactly like the game, with diving and bullet time included. Looks super artsy... I hope they keep it noir and comic booky.

That looks amazing. What were those angel things? That wasn't in the games was it?

The girl looks hot, although I dunno about a love interest for this movie. I didn't see it, but didn't they do the same thing for Hitman? These types of movies need no love interest.

Also anyone know the name of that song? I want it.

That looks... surprisingly good. I think the "demons" are just representations of Max's revenge or something. Not actual demons. Hopefully.

I'd give that a 10%

That phails.

But then again I love Mark Wahlberg.

No comments about the Manson song? I'm impressed.

It's not feeling quite "Max Payne" enough for me, but I'm still going to see it.

I thought the Max Payne video games were sucky.

Disappointment :(
Not even the Max Payne theme D:
Seeing it in live action instead of playing it would be great but, it seems botched up.

Doesn't seem botched up at all... it looks exactly like the game in every respect, and it sounds like the game too. Having thoroughly enjoyed both games on more than one occasion I'd say this is a rather faithful adaptation, provided that he isn't actually killing fallen angels and it's all in his head, which I imagine it will be.

This is actually looking really good, despite the lack of comic book narratives. :p

O rly? I guess I forgot about that/I don't think I played Max Payne 2. Anyways it's been awhile regardless.

@ Deman so Manson made the song? Do You know what it's called because I really want it. It sounds awesome.

If I was your Vampire.

And yeah, the love-bit is a huge part of Max Payne 2.

I'm thinking the fallen angels are symbolic and only appear when Max kills someone. If you look closely at the scene where the angel pulls a guy out of the window, you can pretty much tell someone (probably Max) unloaded into the guy beforehand. The weight of his body and probably whatever bullets went through him or missed is what caused him to crash through.

That song almost makes me hard. Thank you so much.

And yea I guess I definitely didn't play Max Payne 2.

I guess I'm just missing the voice/actor who was in either MP or MP2.
The narrative would be awesome in some scenes, nostalgic even.
