Max Payne (2008)


Trailer:


首先, 这是电玩游戏改编的电影. 有一句这样的说法, 凡是电玩游戏改编的电影都不怎么好看. 一来可能因为需要你玩过原版的电玩游戏方能了解整个故事架构. 我非常同意好游戏改编的绝大都是烂电影.

故事讲述一名警员的妻子和孩子在一次的破屋抢劫谋杀死了. 从此以后, 这警员发誓要捉到真凶. 可是后来才发现当时不是一宗普通的谋杀案件, 谋杀案背后隐藏了更大的秘密. 这电影和原版电玩比起来用心不足. 虽然要模仿电玩的慢节奏, 但要呈现在电影就显得十分拖拖拉拉. 电影和原版最大的分别就是电影里有出现吃了药物后的后遗症, 看到天使的幻影. 这是原版没有的. 原版只是主角因为失去家人太过伤心悲决, 常常发恶梦, 在梦中不能原谅自己, 因为自己的迟了回家, 陪上家人的性命.

这电影和原版都有一致的地方, 就是Bullet Time (可闪子弹慢动作). 原版电玩是游戏界里第一个有这样的功能的作品, 这是当年最大的卖点. 电影就首次出现在Matrix. (先有Matrix电影, 才有Max Payne游戏, 所以应该是Max Payne 抄Matrix). 只得一提的是此电影沿用了原版电玩的创音乐.

其实电影和原版, 被更改了蛮多的, 至少有50%. 因为我玩过原版的电玩, 我只能给3/5.
若我没玩过原版,多久或许我只会给2/5. 对Max Payne游戏不认识的人可以不看, 有玩过的人看看无妨.

First of all, this is a video game adaptation movie. Movie adaptation of video games is always crapy, the reason is you might need to play the original video game in order to understand the whole story. Gamers will very much agree with these, "a good game always come as a bad movie."

The story is about a police officer's wife and children was murderer in a robbery. From then on, the police officer has vowed to catch the muderer. Later on he found that hise case was not an ordinary murder case, behind it was a greater secret. The movie is too drag on and emphsis much on drugs which is not from the original. The original story is more about revenge for his loss.

The beauty and of the game is a system called Bullet Time(flash bullets in slow motion). Max Payne game is the first has such function. By the way, Bullet Time first appear in Matrix movie (Max Payne should be copied Matrix ideal). The only console about this movie is using the original soundtrack from the video game. Other than that, the movie at least 50% difference from the original. For me as a player for the original video game, I give it 3 / 5. For those who not played the original, I think it only score 2 / 5. Not recomment for people never played Max Payne before.
