5 out of 5 stars!   More Than Decent 2010-10-11

I had no knowledge about the character of Max Payne. I had read the Amazon reviews and put off for a long time not buying the blu ray. Finally I did and I found the movie to be quite entertaining and very well made. I thought that all of the actors did a good job in their roles. Wahlberg is a 'movie star' not an actor and for those who have said that he gives the same performance, well he does. But he's fun to watch and after seeing his various films for more than 10 years everyone in the audience should know what they are getting when they purchase a ticket. This is the second graphic novel that I've watched the first being 30 Days of Night and like that film reviewers still make comparisons to the books. I always thought that was ridiculous. Its apples and oranges. The film is a fun ride and decent watch. The trailer pretty much sums up what you'll get so if you like the trailer buy the disc which is in a word superb. One of the best blu ray transfers out there.
