Max Payne | A complete history and retrospective

Max Payne is one of the few video game franchises that suffered a terrible fate when adapted into a feature film. Mark Wahlberg's star power couldn't save the film from the gaming community's backlash and critics' harsh reviews. Released a few years ago, it was a time when most video game adaptations were poorly made and failed to capture the essence of the game, leading to a poor reception from fans and critics alike.

Scott Miller, a producer of the video game series felt disappointed with the adaptation that was released in 2008. Despite the mess, he thinks the game deserves a second chance in Hollywood.

Alan Wake 2 director Sam Lake is seen spreading his wings as he establishes connections and friendships with other great visionaries. The director came out swinging with his latest project, proving that he is a master of storytelling and has a unique understanding of how certain characters can work in a different medium.
