-Im not totally sold on the idea of game to movie adaptations. I can see why studios like to produce them because they already have a built in fan base and buzz, which means green. The problem is most of these games have no story, IMP there's only a couple that can make that transition.(e.g. Halo) Max Payne will be the first released in a long line of adaptations greenlit for production. The trailer for max payne looks good captured the dark atmosphere of game so they may have done a good job.
