The film centers on a cop’s journey through New York City’s criminal underworld as he investigates the deaths of his wife and child. Max Payne was released on October 16, 2008 in Australia, one day prior to the United States release date.
Plot: In New York City, detective Max Payne is a 3 year veteran in the Cold Case unit. He is consumed with investigating and finding the murderer of his wife, Michelle (Marianthi Evans) and infant son. Trevor (Andrew Friedman), Max’s snitch, supplies him with information that leads him to three drug addicts in an empty train station. They attempt to hold up Max in a bathroom; instead Max interrogates one of them about his family’s murder, with no results. Next he visits Trevor’s apartment where Natasha Sax (Olga Kurylenko) takes an interest in him. Natasha and her sister Mona Sax (Mila Kunis) get into an argument and Natasha disappears. Max goes looking for her near a back room where people are using the drug “Valkyr” and is silently confronted by Jack Lupino (Amaury Nolasco), but Natasha takes him away. Max noticed Natasha’s tattoos and wants information so he invites her back to his apartment. However, after Natasha tries to seduce him and makes insensitive comments about his wife, Max kicks her out.
