The video game this was based off of was better and actually ended up feeling more like a movie than the actual film
Well done, with an immersive dark mood and setting straight from the video game, and Mark Wahlberg plays the character perfectly, but the plot-line is lacking in convincing character buildup leaving a over-dramatized feeling and a few cheesy moments.
Mark Wahlberg was perfect as Max. This delivers the feel of a comic book/video game realistically, unlike the stylized visuals of films like Sin City. Mila Kunis should have had a Russian accent though, her character seemed a bit soft without it.
Unbelievably bad. Had all the elements of a good movie but completely flopped by falling into absurdity and nonsense.
