Max Payne Blu-ray
20th Century Fox | 2008 | 103 mins | Unrated | Jan 20, 2009
Max Payne(2008)Action | Crime | Drama | Thriller     Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg) is a maverick cop with little regard for rules and nothing left to lose. Hell-bent on revenge, he’s determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murder of his family, but his obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmarish journey where dark fantasy collides with stark reality. As the mystery deepens, Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world...and face an unthinkable betrayal that will drive him to the edge of his own sanity.

The film is generally dark and bleak, bathed in shades of dark gray and blue with plenty of dark corners and backgrounds that are reproduced with fine clarity. This is definitely not the kind of film that jumps off the screen with vibrant hues and amazing depth, but what it does is shine in the context of its intended look, and the results often blow viewers away, as much as the weapons Max packs in every scene. Detail is never washed out, as faces, building façades, clothing, and all sorts of objects appear realistic. Background objects remain clear and sharp, too. Grain is light, but the film manages to retain a slightly gritty appearance thanks in large part to its drab color scheme. Flesh tones often take on a cold, lifeless, almost ghastly appearance, though in the context of the oftentimes icy look of the picture, they fit in well. Everything adds up to what makes for a very high quality Blu-ray image that looks about as good as a first-rate theatrical presentation. Max Payne Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Max Payne shoots up Blu-ray with a fabulous DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Although likely to be enjoyed first and foremost for its amazing action segments, this track also creates a strong atmosphere, with all the channels working to bring a subtle rumble during some scenes, the bustling sounds of a busy office in others, the flickering of a fluorescent light here, and the pouring of rain there. Still, it is the action, and the gunfire in particular, that makes the track the high-octane extravaganza that it is. The shots from Payne's Taurus Judge revolver rumble with alarming authority. The entire track shakes, rattles, and rolls, both subtly and powerfully, with the surround speakers working overtime to bring the movie to life. Some segments, a party in chapter four, for example, are artificially drowned out in favor of the dialogue, not very realistic but an artistic license needed to allow the scene to work. The film's first major shoot-out comes in chapter 17 and is an impressive sonic accomplishment, standing toe-to-toe with the best shoot-out scenes yet on Blu-ray, featuring gunfire that erupts from every square inch of the listening area, both full auto bursts from a SWAT team's armaments and semi-automatic shots from Payne's Beretta pound and impact on all sorts of surfaces. This is easily one of the most aggressive tracks on the market when the action gets going. Rounding out an excellent soundtrack is precise dialogue reproduction. Max Payne, sonically, anyway, is a true champion on Blu-ray.
