Scroll down the page above for trailer.

Mark Walberg is Payne, and it looks so damn good too. I love the games and this looks as if they got the movie just right.

Film Noir meets a little fantasy.

Those who dont know the story: Max is a cop whos wife and child are murdered by drug addicts. Turns out these addicts are addicted to a new drug called Valkyr. Its basically a super amphetamine, PCB's mixed with LSD. Meant to enhance US soldiers.
Cut a long story short Max finds out that elements within the US government and big business are selling this prototype drug onto the streets as a test among the general population and Max goes on a rampage when he fionds his wife was killed by these agents.

Its Transporter meets, Sin city, meets the Crow thrown in. Awesome game and the movie looks perfect.

Aye that's looking pretty damn good. If it's anywhere near as good as Sin City then it'll be excellent.

Hmmmm i wonder if they are clamping down on in game footage because the game footage is too much like the film...

Thats a strange thing to put in a cutscene of a game "We're sorry, the video is no longer available"

Reading more about this film the ending is pure fantasy, more so then the game but connected to the game never the less.

Max gets OD'd on the V drug and all the swat guys turn into black angels and the building all beomes a gothic type castle, but we are seeing him freaking out on the drug and seeing things through his hallucination.
