I felt insulted that they thought this script was a passable story. If I was the writer I would have been ashamed to have my name attached. We are left with no reason to care for Max Payne.

People who say I am disappointed because it isn't the video game need to understand I didn't want the video game I wanted an action film that captured the essence of the game. I kept lying to myself and saying it would get better any minute. Then nothing would happen.) I wanted this to be good. I kept feeling like it was going to get better because of it. (The scenery was impressively accurate to the game. (The actors do not deserve the blame for this atrocity unless it is for choosing to do this script.) Scenery/Cinematography = Brilliant but wasted on scenes like 8 minutes picking up a folder with no conflict in the scene. (Not too bad other than being sparse) Acting = very good for what little the script offers. (There was hope in the opening but then nothing) Action scenes = minimal. Max Payne was a game that was born of Film Noir and John Woo.
