Max Payne (2008) starring Mark Wahlberg—on Blu-ray.The last time I saw this, I watched it on an iPod hooked up to a CRT TV (yeah, remember when that was a thing?). Not exactly the best way to experience a movie.Still, I’ve always loved the Max Payne games. Easily some of the best third-person shooters ever made. That’s why I’m giving the movie another chance.The reviews were never kind, and I wasn’t impressed back then either. But maybe, just maybe, the Blu-ray will do it some justice.@movies

I don't! But it sounds like fun.

Oh it was great. You get a 3.5mm headphone jack cable with three connectors, but instead of stereo and microphone they’re mapped to the white-red-yellow stereo and composite video connectors at the other end, et voilà! MP4 video on your CRT! Depending on the quality of your video it was essentially like DVD.

Maybe the most authentic way to watch above film?
