    • Trivia
      The extra scene after the end credits was supposed to set the stage for a sequel, but due to the film's negative reviews, 20th Century Fox decided to abandon plans for a sequel.
    • 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.

    Utter Disappointment..

    When I first heard about this film i was excited, I was excited because I have always been a huge fan of the games but this just didn't do it for me, some games are best kept as games. Although if the director or producer actually played the games they would probably be able to craft something a little more entertaining next time. Mark Wahlberg is usually a personal favourite of mine but I feel he was let down by a terrible script.

    The games are amazing, I've always been a die hard fan of them, the way the story comes together i compelling and the way this story comes together is just draining and I dont recommend it to anyone, its enough to put you off the Max Payne series even though its incredible. I do have to note that there were a few intriguing fight scenes but that's as good as it got for me.

    I was just as let down as Wahlberg was when I watched this, utterly disappointed and its such a shame, they had potential but it failed as some do.
