I actually like Mark Wahlberg in this kind of role, he pulls it off. He was pretty good in a similar role in Shooter.
Hope this doesn't suck.

I must say I quite like mark wahlberg's movies... not bad for a bad boy wannabe.
He does somewhat remind me of the guy in max payne... maybe the height would be a problem...

The trailer I saw yesterday infront of Tropic Thunder didn't really appeal to me.
Maybe this might've been a good idea before gritty, slowmo and troubled protagonists became such a fad. That said, Mark is a badass so I will watch (hell, I watched Hitman which really sucked.)

What sucks about seeing a hot chica in a movie, thinking to yourself: "OMG, I want to see her naked" and getting to see her naked in said film?
Max Payne looks alright... nothing else coming out ATM

I think its going to be pretty epic honestly; the trailer looks cool and the Max Payne story is pretty good as far as a basic action movie goes..

The story has more holes than a shot-up metal door, the acting feels bored at best, and the intermittent action, while passable, hardly makes up for the downtime.

So true... you'd think there was going to be heaps of action, but to no avail

I had lost interest in it with about 40 minutes to go, and I never do that! The only thing keeping me interested was the thought that OMG... no action so far, so they must be keeping it for last, but ja

this movie was junk - im disappointed in Mark - usually he does some okay stuff and ive always enjoyed his movies since "the big hit" - this one was something you could choke with - it was that pukeworthy - the guys giving it 5 out of 10 were over generous - it gets half out of ten from me
funny thing is that Olga Kurylenjko was in hitman and also in this one - hitman was okay - and this one was crap and now she is in the "bond" movie too - hope that isnt disappointing as well but from the shorts ive seen im not too optimistic on that one either
is it just me or are current movies just toilet nowadays - nothing ive seen recently was decent

Ok, saw the movie, and it was a disaster. It felt as though I was watching a b-movie from the 80s. The director should be hung from his scrotum for this travesty.

And it has such epic potential. You can correct me if you think I'm wrong; but stuff like Postal was going to fail from the start - Max Payne had a real story that could have attracted non-gamers just the same..

True. Where was the bullet time? I mean, I expected a LOT more bullet time, and I sat there thinking, "Hey, now THAT woulda been a good scene for some bullet time," so often.
Remember that dream sequence level in the game, where you herd the baby crying? Man, they couldn't even come CLOSE to the freakishness that the game had just on that part alone.
