Stop the presses! Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne!!!

A few years ago if you told me Mark Wahlberg would be Max Payne, I would have killed myself. But his work in "Shooter" and "We Own the Night" suggests he's going to KICK ASS!

The Director of "Behind Enemy Lines" and "The Omen" is handling this suggesting to me that there will be great action and a very moody look a 'la the Omen. t:

Fox is really pulling through with the videogame movies. Hitman is looking much better than I was expecting.
