Trivialidades:

The Valkyr graffiti tag from the original Max Payne video game, is visible just before Max takes a whipping in the alley by Mona Sax.

Errores:

Errores Reales: When the Marine is being interviewed about the the drug's effects, the rank on his collar is upside down, and he seems to have been promoted. The rank insignia are not USMC insignia. USMC insignia would have crossed rifles between the chevrons (pointed end at the top) and the rockers (the curved end at the bottom). The rank shown is the army Sergeant First Class (E7), and in the army he might be called a sergeant. In the Marine Corps the rank of E7 is a Gunnery Sergeant, and would be called Gunnery Sergeant or more informally Gunny.

Citas:

[first lines]
Max Payne: I don't believe in Heaven. I believe in Pain. I believe in Fear. I believe in Death.

From a die hard fan: this is a terrible film

I've had the pleasure of beating both Max Payne 1 and 2, so let us start this off by saying I like the games a great deal. At the very least I expected a dumb, entertaining action film. What I was shocked to find was a film so poorly made I am impressed that Mr. Moore actually put his name on the credits.

In the games Max is pushed over the edge and goes on a rampage of survival and revenge. He works his way up from person to person and every once in awhile, he has crazy dream sequences. Throughout there is a dry wit and extremely overdone noir dialog. It's so over the top, it's hard not to like.

I have no idea why the filmmakers chose not to follow that fairly basic plot setup because the replacement is absolutely horrific. The movie wobbles from scene to scene, alternating from making no sense at all to making Max and every other character in the movie look like complete morons.

What's further astounding is that the film can't even get the basics down. This is the worst directed film I've seen in over a year. It's pretty but the action is sparse and boring. Conversations are so badly shot it's no wonder that the whole theater was laughing at most of the scenes. At least one actor turns in a performance so stiff he should be declared legally dead.

And as for the 'staying true to the game' part? Well, they had some slow motion shots, but beyond that, all the style, humor, and over the top action is missing.

Alright, I'm done. I still can't believe the film was that bad. Oy!
