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 saw this in the cinema and was disappointed that there was only a single bullet-time sequence in the film - and it was rubbish. I seem to recall I felt their interpretation of the story was a bit naff too when a more realistic approach would have fit well.

My memory is a 6.5/10 film. Not awful but falling short in many areas.
