Fine on Payne

Max Payne (20th Century Fox, opening today) "is a nap-inducing special-effects fest, minus even the excitement of watching someone else play a game. Mark Wahlberg, who appears to have been hypnotized before each scene, plays Max, a cop whose family has been murdered by junkies. Or so it appears: In fact, his wife was eliminated for knowing too much about a new drug being manufactured at the corporation where she worked. Max spends his days filing in the cold-case department and his nights tracking her killers. Until he finds them. Yawn. This is as cardboard as action-movie-making gets: slo-mo bullets and breaking glass, big explosions, rows and rows of dead bodies." -- Marshall Fine at Hollywood and Fine.

But does Mark Wahlberg talk to animals in this movie?

"Hey, I'm Max and you're a gun. How's that going for you? I like your bullets. Nice and shiny. You sure are loud! Say hi to your mother for me."

I just got around to watching "Happening." Good god! Why did Shyamalan tell him to act like Dirk Diggler? Was it Wahlberg's idea? It was bizarre. That film in combination with this "Payne" crap has eliminated any leftover goodwill towards Wahlberg that he won back in "Departed."
