Max Payne

 «Max Payne» - the same screen popular computer game developed by Finnish company Remedy Entertainment. The game, which uses the style of Noir, which provides a very high degree of cinematic, published in 2001. Sequel game «Max Payne 2» appeared in 2003. The game became very popular among gamers, thanks to play from a third person, and slow time. The effect of «slowing of time» is also used in the movie, but it does not cause the same strong impression in the game. 
n stage direction chair - John Moore ( «In the rear of the enemy», «Flight of the Phoenix»). The authors of the script - Bo Thorn, Sam Lake. In the main role - nomination for «Oscar» for the role of «Otstupnikah» Mark Uolberg. The film also shot: Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, Ludakris, Chris O `Donnell, Donal Log, Amori Nolasco, Kate Burton and Olga Kurilenko. Prodyusiruyut karitnu Scott Fey, Tom Karnovski and Karen Lauder. Premiere trillera held in cinemas on 23 October. 

The main character - the Office of Counter-Narcotics, who considers himself a happy man. It really has nothing to complain about. It has everything: good job, loving wife and small daughter. But one day all his life overturned. His wife and daughter killed. Besides, Max is accused of murder, which he did not commit. Max Payne rebel against the whole world, police and mafia. He yearns for revenge, and nothing could stop him. 

John Moore in his Screening «Max Payne» uses all sorts of tricks and visual effects - wild fire, hail of bullets flying in slow shooting - perhaps in order to distract viewers from more and more confused and false story, which mixed tattoo corpses, Norse mythology, demonic hallucinations and much more. 

The author of the script Bo Thorn tried to remain faithful to the original material of the game and at the same time, accelerate development, to create Action. However, this Action films and not enough. The basis for a movie based on one of the most dynamic games, but Screening apparently lacks momentum. The first fifty-minute Hi «road» in the dark lanes and the criminal world. It focuses on the investigation of the murder of his wife and child. Then, a new storyline - the theory of the new drugs, which attaches to human tide of physical energy, and the best both real and otherworldly to acquire Max. 

Recent episodes of the film slightly improved the overall picture, thanks to the abundance of very good special effects. However, the final scene overwhelmed by special effects. Grad bullets, slow shooting, bulletproof Uolberg in the role of Max Payne, a huge number of bullets fired from the 12 charged berets - all of which purport to be dynamic, but all this has been shown in the game and a lot more impressive. However, the explosion of upper floors of a skyscraper looks really zavorazhivayusche. 

Mark Uolberg played its role well. However, he did not adequately Max Payne, reconstituted in the game. 

Thus, viewers should not expect much from «Max Payne», as it is far below its computer predecessor.
