Sweet, I'm still a fan of Wahlberg. Not sure if he's the best person for this role but he should be able to do it quite well.

I love Mark and while don't see him as idea Max, I still think he'll be good because he's a great actor but WTF!? John Moore!? Who came up with that idea. Seriously, it's the worst possible choice for the director IMO.
Hope they get John Woo to make this one :)

10 - THERE IS A BETTER ACTOR

i dont know about you guys but i think Johny knoxville kinda actaully looks like max payne in the first game. well he looks alot closer than mark. i think johnny should do the role since he looks like him. if someone could post a picture of ingame picture of max paynes face from the FIRST GAME and a picture of johnny knoxville im sure u will see the similarities.

I like Mark but this role should have gone to Johny Knoxvile or the guy who was in LOST ROOM, because of the resemblence to the character.
