Max Payne tops box office
Despite negative reviews, “Max Payne” ranked as the top movie this weekend, pulling in over $18 million and far exceeding industry estimates. After two weeks at the top, Disney’s “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” was kicked to the No. 2 spot.
20th Century Fox’s video game adaptation tells the story of a maverick cop Max (Mark Wahlberg), who is determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murder of his family and partner. Hell-bent on revenge, his obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmare journey into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal.
My personal opinion is that this is a rental only!
