Blockbuster films based on video games
'Max Payne'
In the dark and atmospheric world of Max Payne, there are no heroes. There are only survivors who battle the daily corruption of life until it swallows them up whole. And in the eye of the storm stands Max himself.
With weapons locked and loaded, he fights for revenge and justice, to make things right. And now, with Mark Wahlberg as the lead, he has exploded on to the silver screen. Unfortunately it was a laughable misfire, and it's certainly not the only time Hollywood has jumped the gun and missed the barn door. Check out the gaming-to-film hits and misses.
