Max Payne’s (Mark Whalberg) wife is killed and he kind of loses his mojo, taking a desk on cold cases and trying to solve the unsolvable as the third killer is never found. His investigation leads him to a drug called Valkyre made by the pharmaceutical company she used to work for.
I actually don’t have that much to say about this movie. I haven’t played the game, but apparently it didn’t go down to well with fans. It’s overly convoluted and a bit boring to be honest. And from reading the trivia, doesn’t bear much relation to the games plot.
Which makes no sense. Why the hell wouldn’t they use the plot of a successful game instead of reworking it? This is why game adaptations rarely work…
There are some very pretty shots and some not bad acting but outside of that its all a bunch of nonsense. There’s some plot holes that make no sense and are never addressed. And why the drug isn’t called Berserker, considering its effects, I’ll never know.
Not really one to bother your arse with. Besides being a bit shiny it doesn’t have all that much to offer.
