Color me very skeptical.Rockstar's classic third-person shooter Max Payne is one of my all-time favorite video games, mostly because it allows me to indulge unapologetically in what I like to call "Woo Fantasy." Instead of sitting around passively while people are stylishly blown to juicy bits by a guy wielding dual weapons, I'm actively participating in this wanton bloodshed, mashing buttons and screaming obscenities when things aren't going my way. Naturally, the idea of a live action Max Payne movie excites me, though I'm smart enough to realize that it may, in fact, turn out to be a major league disappointment. Of course, it doesn't help matters any that the film is directed by John Moore, the untalented hack responsible for Behind Enemy Lines, the Flight of the Phoenix remake, and the unfortunate 2006 reimagining of the The Omen. What's more, not many people are too excited about the picture's Comic Con panel, a presentation which included one of the most ridiculous taglines I've heard in quite some time. Am I just another blogger pissing in the dark? Probably not, but I'll reserve judgment until the finished product has been consumed.
