Movie Reviews of Max Payne (Unrated Edition) [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Payne is a pleasure Summary: 5 Stars
Happy Xmas!
No DVD experience to compare this to...although I do have it in HD on the DVR.
Currently watching the unrated version...Using the PS3 so the dts track (which blows AWAY the 5.1 Dolby on the DVR, both in quality and in mix...top notch; wish I was getting the full HD sound, but it's still more than twice as good as the DD version, which is soon to be deleted...the mix is infinitely better)
Wahlberg and Kunis (I can't watch Family Guy the same anymore after Mila's perormance in this movie) are superb, and I watched this because there was nothing else on initially...better than the game!
Also the 1080p version is so much better than the 1080i I'm about to delete
I think it's under $5 here on Amazon (I paid $16 used last night doing some last minute shopping)
Considering that I am seeing a world of difference in the HD version, if you own this on DVD, REPLACE IT!
Great movie, great surround, great picture & sound quality...and I'm not getting the full HD on my sound.
Summary of Max Payne (Unrated Edition) [Blu-ray] Genre: Action/Adventure Rating: PG13 Release Date: 20-JAN-2009 Media Type: Blu-Ray Any film based on a first-person shooter video game should, as a rule of thumb, be full of epic shootouts on a level equal to Sergio Leone or the Wachowski Brothers, and in that regard, Max Payne is an unqualified success. Mark Wahlberg also lives up to the game's pedigree by brooding mightily as the title hero, a big city detective mourning the murder of his wife and child. Revenge is, of course, Payne's ultimate goal, and with the assistance of slinky Russian hitwoman Mila Kunis, he dishes it out in elaborate set pieces overflowing with gymnastic gun play. Viewers seeking just that and nothing more will get their money's worth from John Moore's film adaptation, and most likely be impressed by its fashionably gloomy art direction and cinematography. Those seeking a bit more than gunpowder and gristle will find Max Payne utterly derivative of a half-dozen better films (Christopher Nolan's Batman films, most notably) and violent to the point of cartoon absurdity. They may find some refuge in appealing supporting turns by Donal Logue and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges as diametrically opposed cops and Beau Bridges, who offers his usual roguish charm as Payne's former superior. --Paul Gaita
