Teen Critic Likes Max But Still Wants More Action

Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis star in Max Payne, adapted from the video game (20th Century Fox)

By Lily Canones

Max Payne (opening October 17 throughout San Diego) is the story of a man who lost his wife and child, and went beyond his limits to find who had murdered them. Overall, this movie was really good. I enjoyed how the story went along and the thrills and action that occurred.  I did feel that the movie should have had a little bit more action because when I think of Max Payne , I think of "constant killing" from the video game and that didn't seem to happen. But other than that, if you're a fan of Max Payne or just like action movies, this film is for you! Max Payne is a movie worth watching.

--Lily Canones is a Mount Miguel senior who wanted to be a Teen Critic because she'd like to share her perspective on films with others. She loves horror movies and foreign movies, especially ones from Asia. Most of the horror movies that I watch are originally from Japan, China, and Taiwan.

the review was short and to the point. i agree with Lily that it should have had more action but since the movie was rated pg-13 while the games were M i didnt expect to get the same experience. Many people say they disliked Max Payne but it seems intriguing to me and as a fan of the Max payne video games i agree its worth a watch.
