Criticwatch quote of the week

There are several, but this is the choice one:

You know what hurts a movie like Max Payne is the success of the Batman franchise. That obviously is about story and character so they think for all films of the genre it’s gotta be about story and character and this whole backstory of him losing his wife. I don’t care about that. I wanna see Max Payne shoot people. That’s all I want from a movie like this.

Erik Childress goes on to write that: "Once again, Lyons is confusing the difference between the elements themselves and how they are portrayed."
