Before seeing the the trailer for Max Payne, I was unsure how I felt about Mark Wahlberg in the lead role. I mean, that's one dark dude in the video game. I could more easily see a ragged leading man like a Clive Owen over a guy who carries a 4% body fat like Wahlberg. But he impressed in the trailer, and the movie looks like it's taking the most cinematic aspects of the game and leaving most of the other elements - the very drawn-out journey of the character - on the cutting room floor. In other words, he's going from Point A to Point C in the movie, or so the trailer would have us believe.

I'm not sure how I feel about Mila Kunis in the supporting role still, other than acknowledging that she'll be great to look at. In fact, the entire supporting cast is a bit on the less predictable side,

After sitting around for years, a movie version of the video game Max Payne finally got rolling earlier this year, with Mark Wahlberg cast in the lead role.

I have to say it's not the collection of talent I would have expected for this film: Director John Moore (The Omen), plus Beau Bridges, Donal Logue, Chris O'Donnell, Ludacris, and Mila Kunis.

Kunis plays an assassin and Wahlberg is Payne, a DEA agent. Together they have to solve a series of brutal murders before basically every institution with guns and money gets them first.

The international trailer for Max Payne has just been released, and while I originally thought Wahlberg was not the best choice for the part, I might change my tune now.

I have a feeling this will do pretty well when it's released on October 17th.
