    I always thought this guy from this one soap opera reminded me of Max Payne. I always said if they make a movie he should play the part of Max Payne.

    Maybe him or possibly Bruce Campbell.

  2. The Hitman film good? by denzacar · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You have either not seen the movie, or have not played the game.
    Which one is it?

    But yes... Mark Wahlberg "Max Payne" movie does seem to be targeted at just that kind of audience you represent.
    People that think that Timothy Olyphant "Hitman" movie was a good movie based on the "Hitman" games.

    He's got his voice down? Not by a long shot. It sounded completely forced, way too deep, and way too aggressive. I'm playing through the game at the moment, so the memory is pretty fresh, and he's nowhere near the voice of Max Payne.

    Other than that, the dialogue in the trailer sounded bad. Too dramatic, and sympathetic as well. What made Max Payne great was the idea that you're a good guy, but the good guys think you're a bad guy. No sympathy, no drama, just cold, hard killing, witty commentary, and a can full of badassery. Doesn't look like they'll be sticking to that.
