So it's a public holiday.

And I watched Max Payne on Saturday. More on that later.

I love public holidays. No work, the whole house decides to wake up after noon, and there's no complaints over nothing. And it's quiet. Well... When we mean quiet here, we mean "each of us only hear our own noises/music".

So, Max Payne.
I'm positive that in the scripting meetings for the movie they were thinking "Ok guys, what we're going for here, is to make the movie EPIC."

It didn't come out as well as it sounds, but hey, it was pretty good.

When a movie based on a comic/book/game comes out, and my friends are going, one has to have seen the thing it's based on, and one has to have not (creates opinionated balance). I didn't play the game, so I figure either way, I'd be spared some disappointment if it went south. For both parties, it was actually decent.

There were guns, there were girls, and there were bullet-time sequences. Things I figure a Max Payne movie should have. To be honest, it may get a bit confusing if you didn't play the game, but I got it, so you can too.

What pissed me off, was that right at the start of a kick ass gun-battle, they cut for intermission... I think someone did that on purpose. Anyways.

It was action-y, so I guess it served it's purpose. Heck, even the credits were epic... You NEED to see those credits.

So... GO watch it. Or sumn.
