Max Payne

I watched a movie over the weekend. It hasn't hit the theaters in Korea yet, but I was talking to one of my friends on the messenger, and he told me that the movie "Max Payne" was the bomb!!

I remember playing the game when I was a kid, and since making popular video games into movies is kind of a trend these days, I thought I should check it out.

The star of the movie is Mark Wahlberg, who is also known for starring in movies such as "The Happening", "Shooter", and "Planet of the Apes" (which I have already watched). I'm not a HUGE fan, but I think he's got character.

Anyway, the story is based on the legendary, hard-hitting interactive video game, "Max Payne". It tells the story of a maverick cop determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murder of his family and partner. Hell-bent on revenge, his obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmare journey into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max (Wahlberg) is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal.

Even if you don't know the video game, I think it's a good time killer. Maybe you guys should check it out too.
