Maybe it's because the Bourne series impresses with his bitter face. . . Let's talk about the screen. . . The overall feeling is rather dark. . But the director's lens is still very good. . Especially impressive is the picture of the protagonist in the water. . . The lens also goes up and down in the water. . . There is that kind of spiritual feeling. . . And it used several "bullet time" in it. . . It was John Woo who first brought this lens to the United States. . . Not yet acceptable to foreigners to begin with. . Now it is being imitated. . . Let's talk about some special effects in the middle. . Although it is a so-called hallucination. . . But still very sci-fi. . . The protagonist's struggle with poison is explained in a few shots. . . No procrastination at all. . . Finally, let's talk about the plot. . . At first I thought it was an R-rated film. . . Later, I found out that it was a relatively clean film. . . The twist at the end was quite unexpected. . . At last. . I like the ending. . So be it. .

Max Payne quotes

  • Captain Bowen: Remember when you were a kid and you'd hold your breath when you run past the graveyard? Just leave that man alone.

  • Lincoln DeNeuf: The devil is building his army.

    [...]

    Lincoln DeNeuf: Max Payne - he's been hunting. Three years of kicking down doors. He is looking for something that God wants to stay hidden. And that's what makes him even more dangerous. Mona, stay away from Max Payne. You don't want to be around him when Judgement Day comes.
