Movie: Wahlberg, shattered panes share lead in ‘Payne’

Max PayneQuick Take: Snooty critics weren’t kind to Max Payne, the latest attempt from Hollywood to turn a video game into a real movie. But this noir-ish,  Matrix lookalike has a strong story (rogue cop, designer super-drug) and a likable lead in Mark Wahlberg. It plays well on the big screen — the sound is terrific — but wait to rent it if you have a decent-sized home TV. Skip it entirely if you have phobias from bullet casings or shattered glass.

Details: Surprisingly, this shoot-’em-up is still playing at The Liberty Cinema in Wenatchee and The Fairchild Cinemas in Moses Lake.
