Not to mention the Director on this. He has directed some pretty good films, including Behind Enemy Lines

im my opinion i think silent hill is the best videogame brought to screen as of right now. until i see "Hitman" of course. but Max Payne if its done well might go on my top list.

Only one actor was the perfect fit for this movie and that is Johnny messner.....I was hoping if they made this movie he'd be in it but i guess i'll watch it with mark wahlberg anyways.
