To think of a video game movie that really manage to translate well onto the screen is a tough task. We all know the disasters that flicks like the SUPER MARIO BROS, STREETFIGHTER, MORTAL KOMBAT, HITMAN, DOOM, RESIDENT EVIL all turned out to be. Let's just say...none exactly managed to hit home run.
Now Fox pictures try to give all its got to the hugely popular shoot em up game MAX PAYNE and even cast Mark Wahlberg in the lead.
Maverick cop Max Payne (Wahlberg) is hell-bent on revenge against those responsible for the brutal murder of his family and partner. His obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmarish journey into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal.
From the first look of the trailer, we all know how the makers have managed to stay true to the feel of the game. However for starters, it also looks a lot like the Keanu Reeves starrer CONSTANTINE.
Meanwhile the man bringing to you this film is director John Moore whose previous directorial credits include the recent OMEN and BEHIND ENEMY LINES.
So will this be one of those big time solo hit that Wahlberg is on the lookout for?
