2008-10-10 14:33:44 by Sam Sloan in Slice of SciFi
...Filmcritic Rating = 3.5 out of 5 Stars Sorry, was that Buttle or Tuttle We critics like to argue that Hollywood defangs most family fare. Unless it can find a viable commercial tie-in, or lead to a series of equally superficial sequels, studio suits avoid anything remotely dark or contentious. Apparently, the applicable philosophy argues that...

Max Payne A Filmcritic Review

The Article has images
2008-10-17 01:59:25 by Sam Sloan in Slice of SciFi
...Filmcritic Rating = 2.5 out of 5 Stars Max Payne is an incredibly average wannabe action noir which tries to salvage some originality by going completely goofy at the end To paraphrase comedian/pundit Bill Maher, New rule!

...FilmCritic.com reviewer (see link below), who accurately points out that its hampered by several serious flaws: horrendous dubbing (what was Visconti thinking?!), lame performances (very few actors, despite their credentials, emerge unscathed), overly self-conscious camera techniques (Visconti relies on zoom shots far more than he should),...
