...ahem

I just noticed that my home boy posted a... post about the pile of slowly decomposing fecal matter known as Max Payne. God damnit. I am a gamer. A PC gamer. Yes, I'm what you may call a computer 'geek', but I'm also a sexy motherfucker so it evens out. I digress. Max Payne and its sequel were both great games with great stories. These stories were so good in fact, that there was no need for a director on this movie, just a guy that could have said, "Yeah, see that in the game? Yeah, do that. Good" Unfortunately, that didn't happen and what they ended up with was something terrible. More terrible than, I dare say, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. I actually fell asleep during this movie. This has happened ONE other time: Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor). It's really disappointing that a movie with so much potential can turn into something so bad. Moreover, it's unfortunate that the Oscar nominee, Mark Wahlberg, was sucked into a great idea but bad execution. Max Payne just adds to the list of those responsible for the decrepid video game to movie stereotype.
