From video game to the silver screen, the film centers around a New York City cop who has spent years trying to find the killer of his wife and child. A stereotypical plot, followed by a disengaged group of characters and plot make this film unbelievably awful.
Few and far between are the striking super slow motion shots and computer graphics that give the movie a few seconds actually worth watching. Mark Wahlberg (Max Payne) is completely bland in the lead role and creates no on screen chemistry with any of the characters that are supposed to have connection.
Assuming knowledge of the video game series, the writers and director try to correlate the beginning to the end without anything to support this notion in the middle. As the credits begin to roll, the mind sighs relief that it will no longer be subjected to the drivel that has clouded its ability to function for the last 100 minutes.
