Mark Wahlberg as 'Max Payne'

It's hard to get too excited about the first shot from Max Payne: the costume is just Mark Wahlberg in a black jacket, the film follows the sorrowful tradition of being based on a video game, and it's a video game that relies heavily on slow-motion "bullet time" effects--meaning we'll get more of the "awesome" slow-motion gunfire treatment Wanted is based around that we already tired of during The Matrix era.

Anyway, now that I've beaten down your expectations, here's the first look at Mark Wahlberg in Max Payne.
