'''''Max Payne''''' is an action film from the year 2008. Based on the video game series of [[Max Payne (series)|same name]], it was directed by John Moore<ref>(who also did ''Behind Enemy Lines'' and the remakes of ''[[The Flight of the Phoenix]]'' and ''[[The Omen]]'')</ref> and it stars [[Mark Wahlberg]], [[Mila Kunis]], Beau Bridges and [[Ludacris]].
Unlike the game, in this adaptation the framed fugitive undercover detective Max Payne is a cold case detective obsessed with finding the killer of his wife and child. His personal investigations gets him involved in the killing of Natasha Sax and his fellow detective Alex Balder (who has been on the case of the preceding) by the ex-marine Jack Lupino. Natasha's sister Mona, convinced that Max is the perpetrator, sets her sights on him.
Line 10:
Reception of the film was generally negative with its plot and its cast's efforts being most criticized aspects. The [[Never Trust a Trailer|false marketing]] that made the film seem like a supernatural actioner a la ''[[Constantine]]'' didn't help much either.

* [[Above the Influence]]: The Bond girl from ''[[Quantum of Solace]]'' more or less throws herself at Max. Max is...less than interested.
