Last weekend I saw the movie Max Payne with a friend. We both like thriller/action movies, and the trailer looked pretty good. It was directed by Oliver Stone, who has made pretty good movies in the past, but this one was just okay. We decided that the beginning of the movie was hardly like the end, and very confusing at that. Throughout the film, characters took shots of a blue liquid, which turned out to be a failed military drug, which lead to the main character's wife's death. Very random. Another strange twist were the side effects of the drug... users hallucinated about birds killing them, and they would die in similar ways to the hallucination. Max Payne had a very twisted story line that was hard to distinguish, but lots of great explosions and shootout scenes. I liked how sometimes in the movie the good guy was confused with the bad guy as well.
Overall, it was a movie that made me think, and that is a big part of what counts.
