Max Payne

I'm a die-hard fan of the computer game, Max Payne 2. That is the reason that prompted me to catch the movie. My review? The pace is tad too slow for me. The action sequences were few and came quite late into the movie. The game story-line is rich and there's the forbidden love between Max and Mona Sax. Mona was given too little airtime and appeared nothing more than an accessory in the movie. The game is renown for "Bullet Time" and the use of painkillers to reduce his pain. I could only recall 2 short scenes modeled after "Bullet Time" and painkillers were replaced with a lame serum. The writers and director failed to fully exploit and build on the material from the game. Disappointed? You betcha.
