Boogie Nights' well-endowed Dirk Diggler? Nope. The Departed's wise-cracking Dignam? Uh-uh. Maybe Planet of the Ap ... yeah, not that one obviously. We're just wondering what Mark "y Mark" Wahlberg's favorite role has been in his brief, but illustrious, career. Turns out we don't need to guess, big Mark is here to tell us. Comparing his "out of control" childhood and the accompanying life lessons it provided in the latest issue of Total Film magazine with Max Payne's inner demons, Wahlberg says, "Maybe that's why this character is my favourite role so far."
Great, more data. So now you're tasked with weighing the various pieces of evidence at your disposal – he hasn't played the video game; the posters are great; he loves the role; Beau Bridges is in it – and making a snap judgment on a movie that isn't out yet. Quick! Does it suck? Is it going to be great? Citizen Kane or Max Payne, pick one!

I have a feeling this movie is going to suck the big one. I hope not, but I can hope in one hand and sh.....well, you know.

I'm pretty sure all he cares about is the big fat cheque in his bank account...

Wait, since Wahlberg is from the US and doesn't use that crazy "u", shouldn't they quote him as such? I think so.

don't get me wrong, he's a great actor and I usually love his movies so I'm looking forward to seeing Max Payne as a gamer and a as a fan of his.

I'm hopeful, but with a healthy dose of skepticism. Even if it's bad (good chance), it can't go back in time and make the games suck.

I predict this movie will be so bad that Max Payne 3 will never be released. :(

Not interested in seeing a movie related to a painful game experience, though the film will probably have nothing to do with the games anyway.

well, for most actors, that's always their last role that is their "favourite so far" lol
