I thought "Max Payne" supposed to be about angels. It turns out not about angels at all, LOL. It's about detective, mystery and all of that kind. There was shootings but not much (I heard the games are about shooting) and not much actions either. However, the visual effects are cool. Most probably that's the reason that made this movie look interesting.
I have not played "Max Payne" games before. Not everyone that loves the game loves the movie as well. I read the plot of the game and found it's almost the same with the storyline of the movie, there are differences but not much. There are sequel to the game called "Max Payne 2 (The Fall of Max Payne)." Maybe they will attempt to make sequel for the movie too, no confirmation about that one.
I was fan of detective stories when I was young. I used to read comics and novels about detective, mystery and all of that kind. So, I'm quite glad that I went for this movie because it brought me back to things I loved about during those days. =D

When I saw the trailer, I was not interested. Then I came across an article on the newspaper mentioning it's good movie to watch. I viewed some reviews on the Internet and most of them are positive. So, I had myself convinced to go for it.
The movie turns out to be worth watching and I should not have judged it based on the trailer. There are plenty of awesome action scenes, though most of them reminded me of "Die Hard 4." Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan were great, with some humors too. The coolest thing about "Eagle Eye," it's fast and exciting from the start until the end.
The concept of "Eagle Eye" is quite interesting. Steven Spielberg brought his imagination into the future high developed technology. It's the time when technology and computers are able to control the world and track every moves of every human. It might not happen in real life yet it's good concept for fictional action movie.
While watching "Eagle Eye," I felt like I am watching summer movie. =)
