This was another movie that I was on the fence about. After "Doom", it appeared that video games conversations should be left to SNES emulation. However I was entertained by this one. It's not without it's faults; there's some issues with the flow of the movie and some timely arrivals on scene of hero/heroins. Generally I hate movies that live by "flashbacks". However there was only one main flashback in this movie and it suited the finale well. Another problem was the attempt by the director to emulate the "feature" of Max Payne games that's what putt'em on the map. The freeze motion kills. I feel they could have been done better.
Mark Walburg didn't stink up this movie; he did pretty well. And big marks for Mila Kunis (from That 70s Show and Meg on Family Guy), she kicked ass and did it in a hot sexy way (TM is a fan). Also Beau Bridges ended up being the villain and it actually worked OK. Overall, this wasn't a waste of money (especially when my girlfiend bought!). Overall the story was pretty good but could have flowed a bit better.
Bottom line is that you will be entertained, you won't be blown away but you won't feel like you were raped by George Lucas.
