Edge writes: "After expressing "bewilderment" at specific inconsistencies between the Max Payne games and the recently-released movie adaptation, 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller, whose company produced the game series, has toned down his criticisms.
"To be clear, I'm proud of this film," Miller told Edge in a follow-up statement.
"Making films is much different than making games, because there's a lot more money involved, and a lot more people involved. What often happens is people get involved who do not fully understand the property and therefore try to take it in the wrong direction."
