Mila Kunis Carries 'Max Payne'

Videogame starrer has its female

Mila Kunis

Wow, I don't know about this one. Mila Kunis is apparently going to star as an assassin alongside Mark Wahlberg who plays the title character in Max Payne for director John Moore and 20th Century Fox.

The film is an adaptation from the Rockstar videogame in which Wahlberg plays Payne, a cop haunted by the tragic loss of his family who finds himself in the thick of a conspiracy when he investigates a series of murders. Kunis will play an assassin who teams up with the title character to avenge her sister's death.

Look at the girl to the left. Does she look like an assassin?

Who knows, it could work, however I am not a huge fan of John Moore as a director (The Omen remake was awful) and a cutie like Kunis as an assassin just doesn't fit.

Watcha think? Can Kunis carry off a role as an assassin?

This sucks… Mark Wahlberg? Cool shit. John Moore and Mila Kunis….not so much… plus the apparent PG-13… yikes.

I think that Mark Wahlberg will do a good job as Max, however, I don't think that Mila will be able to do any good as Mona Sax. I just don't see it happening.

Overall, I'm nervous about whether they will be able to do the story of the game justice. Max Payne has a very strong Noir element that makes it stand out from other shooters. I'd like to see that happen in the movie. As far as the rating goes, eh, we'll see. The body count in the game is over 600, with lots of adult language sprinkled around. That definitely calls for an 'R', but it can probably be done ok in 'PG-13'.

Yeah, I am not sure about the rating and if they have said they are going for a PG-13 or not. Hopefully Fox will try and make up for Hitman and give us a good R-rated videogame adaptation. The John Moore aspect worries me still and the noir aspect of the film even worries me more, wish I had thought of that. In the hands of a director such as Moore, noir can be tricky, especially if he tries too hard.
