The autumn blockbuster movie season is heating up and last weekend seemed to jump start the action films. Just released - "Max Payne", starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges and Chris O'Donnell.Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a DEA agent (Mark Wahlberg), whose family was killed as part of a conspiracy, and an assassin (Mila Kunis), who is out to avenge her sister's death. The police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation hunt the pair.
Demons, in the shape of winged serpents, disturb Max, but nothing real or imagined will get in the way of his mission. Complicating things is Max Payne's guru B.B. (Beau Bridges), an ex-cop who is involved with security for a large pharmaceutical company, which may hold the key to the mystery.
Forces, both real and hidden, are hard at work to keep Max, who is clearly fighting his inner demons, from reaching his goal.
"Max Payne" delivered a strong performance at the box office Friday with $7.2 million pushing it to the number one spot. The adaptation of the popular video game had the widest release at 3,376 locations this weekend, gaining an early lead in what could transform into a solid box office weekend.
