FILM: Mark Wahlberg is Max Payne

Mark Wahlberg has signed on for Max Payne--yet another movie where he plays a beefed-up, monosyllabic bad ass. (See Four Brothers and The Shooter for a reference.) The video game adaptation has Wahlberg playing a New York cop whose wife and baby are murdered by drug addicts. As revenge, he goes undercover for the Drug Enforcement Agency and infiltrates the mob to find the drug dealer selling the highly potent Valkyr. Unfortunately, he gets set up for the murder of his partner, forcing him to fight off not only the mob but cops. Suspense. Action. One-liners galore.
