John Moore directs the hell out of the action, while Jonathan Sela's glistening photography captures the snow and rain that fall on these bloody New York streets. But you'd have to be on crack not to guess the 'surprise' finale.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Max Payne is a junkyard dog of a film that is true to its video-game roots even as it transcends them.
The filmmakers aim their cynicism more at us than at any government or drug company.
Sexy girls and lots of automatic weapons are involved in an occasionally coherent plot.
You can't help but wonder where the fine actor in The Departed and even Invincible has gone. It's not been a good year for Wahlberg: First The Happening, and now this.
