    • Trivia
      James McCaffrey, the voice of Max Payne in the video game, makes a cameo as the FBI Agent that Lieutenant Jim Bravura introduces to the "real" police officer. He also shows up near the end of the film, asking if Bravura is alright, before calling in Division One over the radio.
    • Goofs
      When Max is about to leave his apartment in the morning, he shuts off the stove after a kettle starts whistling. The steaming item on the stove is an espresso pot, which does not whistle. A kettle is on the back burner, but it's not being used.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Max Payne: I don't believe in heaven. I believe in pain. I believe in fear. I believe in death.

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits is an extra scene, in which Max is reunited with Mona at a bar to be shown further developments involving Aesir, implying both have more to do (setting the scene for a possible sequel).
    • Alternate versions
      An unrated version was released on Region 1 DVD and Region A Blu-Ray.

    Without being compared to the game.
    Mark Wahlberg plays popular game hero Max Payne, a cop who sets out to find the man who killed his wife and child, while doing so he uncovers a potential conspiracy that could lead him to the killer.

    While Max Payne boasts a great tone, atmosphere and great cinematography, the overall film wasn't really all that great, the acting was tough to judge, there were some good performances but the actors seem like they didn't have much to work with, the action scenes are minimal, and was just a ton of shooting and they weren't all that exciting, however if you are interested in this film, you can watch it, but I feel that there are better options.

    Without comparing it to the game, I felt they could have done more to make it a bit more interesting and exciting, and possibly add more to Max Payne's back story and they could've been more inventive with the action scenes instead of making people just shoot at each other.

    Otherwise, its a good concept and is well shot, but the execution needed a little more work.
