The Movie Is About

Thursday, October 23, 2008

Max Payne is...

...an interesting movie.

...bogged down in the shadows. / ...so dark it looks as if the negative were dropped in a puddle of ink.

...an incredibly average action-oriented noir which tries to salvage some originality by going completely goofy at the end.

...a junkyard dog of a film that is true to its video-game roots even as it transcends them.

...surprisingly lacklustre.

...based on a video game - surprise, surprise - and everything in it looks shadowy and cavernous.

...devoid of novel life.

...just like the title suggests, ultimately painful.
