Independent film, Max Payne: Payne and Redemption, makes Uwe Boll blush

I can come up with a number of reasons why, up until now, I haven't heard about this independent film, Max Payne: Payne and Redemption. For starters, as solid as the series is, I usually fall asleep when anyone uses the deadly combination of the words "Max" and the oh-so-clever "Payne."

 

But I'll be damned, because this trailer for the British-made independent film (based on the Remedy Entertainment videogame series) looks pretty hot. The film's narrative takes place between the events of the first and second Max Payne games, and focuses on exploring what makes Payne tick ... which of course means bullet-time and prescription drugs he finds just lying around all over the place.

 

This first film is the third chapter in an ambitious six part project (wrap your head around that!), and I definitely wish the team the best of luck on actually completing the project. I'm just hoping they found an actor that can nail that "constipayted" look of the film's title character.
