Three years ago, NYPD detective Max Payne's wife and baby were murdered. Max gets himself transferred to the cold case office where he can continue searching for the killer who got away. He's a loner, but two people reach out to him during a fateful week: Alex, his ex-partner who may have found a clue, and BB, the security chief at the pharmaceutical company where Max's wife worked. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up, some as a result of a drug on the street that is highly addictive and, for many who take it, brings hideous hallucinations. When one of the bodies is a woman Payne was the last to see alive, her sister comes looking for him armed to the teeth; Max must move fast.

| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis noisy, dull, structurally messy adaptation of the popular videogame is a step down in the blossoming career of the gifted actor Mark Wahlberg. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekGiven the effect Max Payne has, by the close you may feel that they've misspelled the hero's last name. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongMax Payne may be the worst movie of the year. The "may be" qualifier is only because the year isn't over yet. |
| WJFK-FM (CBS Radio)Kevin McCarthyThough the PG-13 rating of Max Payne limited the amount of violence, the film still succeeds mainly due to the dark, gritty and beautiful cinematography. |
| Movie RetrieverBrian TallericoThe producers of movies based on video games must think their audience is nothing but easy-to-entertain morons. It's the only explanation for a movie this dark, dull, and dumb. |
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonThis trashy film is a case of big guns and small brains. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceThe few thrills it does have are outweighed by its rather dumb plotting and an overly familiar sense of style. |
| E! OnlineAlex MarkersonPainful to watch, but it's nothing an aspirin can't fix. Might as well save yourself the headache, though. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookAs revenge films go, 'Max Payne' is a little less than average. |
| MovieJuice!Mark RamseyHey, it's Chris O'Donnell! Remember him? In an actual movie that's shown outside his own home! On a big screen that isn't built into his own living room wall! Where the viewer has a ticket he didn't receive because of a DUI! |
