Well, it DOES have Mila Kunis in it.
I enjoyed this movie, probably more than I should have. I hope the artwork is something dark and subtle like that press release is.
I heard that this is actually a pretty decent movie, even if you've played the video game...
wow...i've never seen an ad promote the fact that their movie made 40 million and seemingly being proud....they must have run out of things to list on there. 
Great games, a subpar movie. An unrated cut definitely can't hurt it. I wasn't happy with the casting at all, but it does follow the game in a somewhat decent manner.
Might check out the unrated cut.
This movie sucked pass
Max payne was a pianfully typical action movie based on a game. Totally watchable once though.
I've heard this was god awful and got so much hate from the critics. Yet I'll rent it. The unrated cut seems convincing. And look I liked Alien vs. Predator: Requiem even when everyone hated it.
Very dull thriller based on action packed videogame. How did that happen?
Just under mediocre. One of the better movies based off of a video game. Definitely not worth buying.
The creators of the game denounced this film, so that kind of says something right there.
I will rent this eventually. Never played the games, but the movie looked decent enough.

I loved this movie. I'll definately pick up the two disc edition. Can't wait to see what they add for the unrated cut.
This movie fell short of expectations. Unrated? Don't think that'll be enough to make people who saw the movie run out and buy it. Rent before buy would be the way to go on this one.
Didn't see this in the cinema yet, might check it out for Olga Kurlyenko. I thought she was fantastic in Quantum of Solace.
rental out of curiosity. I love the games and the movie looks interesting, but I'm sure I'll hate it.
I loved the games, was somewhat interested in seeing the movie, so I'll probably rent this, but I have low expectations.
Unrated, with a PG-13 rating in the bottom left-hand corner of the poster.
I actually liked this movie a lot. Not "Best of the year" quality, but it was a good time. I think the look of the film was it's best quality. I hope the unrated cut is the 125 minute version the director was talking about.
I seriously thought this movie would really suck, like worse then AVPR. Though when i walked out of the theater, I felt extremely good that it was one of the better video game movies out there. I enjoyed it, it stayed close to the plot more then i thought it would. I will give this i buy since i have both the games. Bring on MAX PAYNE 3!
I loved the game...
missed the movie in theaters,
but i gotta see it cause i got to be on set for a few days.

Why doesn't Hollywood get that making a game into a film removes the element from a game that makes it entertaining: the interactivity.
Saw in theaters. Watchable. Once. Barely. Maybe.
Remember those Wahlberg comments he would kick Batman's ass? Yeah, good one, Marky-Mark!

Well if that action is taken to the MAX then I guess I have to see it.
Nah, I'll play the game again someday instead.

Looked lame, Marky Mark what were you thinking?
It's an action movie with about 10 minutes of action. What more do you need to know? Total failure in my eyes.
EXCELLENT MOVIE. As a huge fan of the max payne games, I really was suprised by the film.
TERRIBLE MOVIE. I am a huge fan of the games, and this was a major letdown. Absolutley nothing like them at all. I almost fell asleep. How can a movie based on action games have no action???!!!
Not interested in this at all, but I found this wierd:
"an unrated extended cut with a never before seen 20 minute graphic novel"
So what, the actual movie with an animated graphic novel spliced in? lol, thats some extended cut
