Max Payne

If we are talking about Max Payne, we need to talk about Mark Wahlberg. This movie is using his famous name and created to be one-man show movie. He started his career in big screen Hollywood in 1994 in the movie “Renaissance Man”.  In 1998, he made his way up to the top with a movie called “The Big Hit”. After that, one big movie to another keep coming out with his name on the credits, starting with ”The Italian Job”, ”Four Brothers”, ”The Departed" and the last one before Max Payne is ”The Happening”.



Now we can start talking about Max Payne.

The story is about Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg), a cop who obsessed to find the killer who brutally murdered his wife, Michelle Payne (Marianthi Evans), and newborn daughter. During his investigation, he finally ends up at a party and meets the sexy girl Natasha Sax (Olga Kurylenko) and her sister, Mona (Mila Kunis).  I think it is worthwhile to stop for a word about this sexy Olga Kurylenko. After she finished the shooting with Mark Wahlberg, she played in "Quantum of Solace"–yes, the new girl of James Bond 007.

Returning to the storyline, the next day, Max’s former partner Alex Balder (Donal Logue) picks him up, finding the body of the murdered Natasha in the alley. Max Payne is accused as the killer since the cop found his wallet on the scene.

Desperate to find the killer, Max finally finds out that Aesir Pharmaceuticals, where his wife was working, has something to do with the murders. His investigation leads him to the clue that this company is manufacturing a drug for the military. It was a drug created for the purpose of enhancing a soldier’s ability in combat and to control their fears. However, the drug produced a side effects wherein the soldiers have severe, traumatic hallucinations about flying creatures, and become heavily addicted to the drug.
Max has to accept a terrible truth that the killer is someone who he trusts.  Max has to take the drug and have this hallucination to survive and bring this company down.

This movie is a combination of action, thriller and sci-fi in one movie. The special effects are excellent. Black angels are flying all over the place and the sky is changes to fire. This is another entertaining action movie with plenty of big shotguns, shootings, and a great appearance by Mark Wahlberg.
