Three years after their deaths, he spends his days trying to track down the last killer that got away. When a beautiful, mysterious woman is murdered outside his apartment, Payne finds himself working with her sister (Mila Kunis) to find the killer. But when his former partner (Donal Logue) is killed, and Internal Affairs officer Jim Bravura (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) begins looking into Payne’s involvement, it becomes very personal.

Notes
Goofs:
Factual errors: As Max Payne is shown putting individual cartridges into his shotgun towards the end of the movie, he continues to fire the weapon into the next scene. The type of pump-shotgun he is yielding requires the operator to manually pump the foregrip to cock the gun, though Max never does so. (more)
