Boogie Nights
Three Kings
The Departed
Boogie Nights - I agree. It was good.
Three Kings - Entertaining, but I couldn't get into it.
The Departed - I'm not a fan of the genre (so I am a bit biased against) and I felt he played a very one dimensional character.
ok he could be a worst actor for you but you dont know how does he play in max payne so you are just guessing that's all..
If I think a guy can't act why should I put forth the time and money to see a movie with him in it?
It is the same principal that makes me go see anything with Paul Giamatti, Morgan Freeman, or Nathan Fillion in it.
Well with my following comments, my flame proof suit is about to to be put to the test, but I like Mr Wahlberg and I've liked allot of his films, especially The Italian Job, Shooter, Basketball Diaries and The Departed where IMO he was tons better than Di'Caprio (still JN stole the show for me, he always does)
So this for me could either be really naff or really great.
Edit.. I forgot I loved Invincible 👍
Italian Job - see the original and you will realize how bad it is.
Shooter and Basketball Diaries - never saw them, nor had any desire to. I will eventually though.
I already gave my thoughts on Departed.
Invincible is the only movie starring him that I actually had a desire to see. However, I still haven't seen it yet. And the desire was based more on it being a football movie than Wahlberg.
To be completely honest, when I first heard about this movie I was hesitant because it is a videogame movie more than anything else. In general these things don't work, for various reasons.
So, of course, as Rainmaster is pointing out, I am quick to judge on little information. So, time to do some research on IMDB.
Director - John Moore
The Omen (2006)
Flight of the Phoenix (2004)
Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
He Shoots, He Scores (1995)
Jack's Bicycle (1990)
Two remakes (ugh, both horrible too) two unknowns and one decent film. Not very promising.
Writers:
Shawn Ryan:
"The Shield" (30 episodes, 2002-2007)
"The Unit" (2 episodes, 2006-2007)
The Good Things (2001) (writer)
"Angel" (5 episodes, 2000-2001)
OK, this looks promising. Maybe this guy can tell a good story. The problem is that he hasn't done many movies. There is more, but I didn't feel like tracking him back to the 80's. His most recent work is all I needed to see.
Beau Thorne (screenplay):
Max Payne (2008) (post-production) (screenplay)
And this is all he has ever done. As Ryan is credited with writing, but not screenplay I fear that this guy is responsible for the final draft. On his first run? That means it will be groundbreaking or horrible.
So, the production staff is borderline at best, not enough to make a decision on.
So, what other known actors are there?
Beau Bridges
Ludacris
Chris O'Donnell
Nelly Furtado (huh, what?)
So, two musicians (argue whether Ludacris is actually a musician elsewhere) and two guys that will take any movie script that comes their way. Yep, this screams of top notch performances.
I didn't recognize any of the other names.
seriously, I think it's too early for a final judgement. I hope it will be a great video game adaptation. at least director is not uwe boll 
Boogie Nights might be the only exception because it got good ratings. But i didn't see it, so i don't care.
