Max Payne

We just watched this movie last night, it is something that you are going to expect from an action packed game but guess what? The movie is more on the communication side. And why is all of the talking necessary? You would think a movie based on a video game would spend more time with gun battles and big explosions. Those scenes are there, but they don't come until the final 15 minutes. By then you will be ready to do anything to make the Payne stop. As a gamer there's a lot of things in common in the scenes but what catches me was the animation regarding Valkyries or called as Gods in the story. It is something worth watching as they look very cool but take note you can only see them once you take a dose of the drug called Valkyr.
Max Payne, a cop in the NYPD, returns home one day to find his wife and baby murdered at the hands of drug addicts, high on a designer drug called Valkyr. Hunted by the cops and driven by determination to avenge his family, Max Payne has been obsessed the past three years and sets out to uncover the truths behind his family's murder trying to find the person who killed his wife and son. This obsession finally begins to pay off when Payne gets involved with the sister of a female mobster who might be connected to the people who know the guy who was involved with an incident that possibly was connected to the death of Payne's family.
