Max Payne

"It's hight on guns and poses, but little else. (...) The attempts to out-Matrix 'The Matrix,' with bullet-time super-slo mo, are staged with such theatrics that they're unintentionally funny. (...) Mostly it's a weak little sister to 'Sin City'." 

"With its flat story, numbed-out protagonist, and faux artistic lighting and set design - everything is dark or moody or darkishly moody or moodily dark - Max Payne seems a good half hour longer than its running time." 

"A somber, stylized new action movie (...) It’s not an especially good movie, but such a judgment is not really relevant to its ambitions (...) A coherent story would be a lot to ask, and would in any case slow down the movie’s rhythm."
