Yeah don't get me wrong Max Payne could of been better, but he did his part nearly perfectly. Max Payne was leading in the direction of going insane, so I think if he took the extra step he could pull it off.

I mean its not like he is trying to be the Joker, which takes tons of skill. I personally think he has more than enough experience to do it. Alot better than other known actors that would be offered the part if he doesnt take it.

I think it really depends on if they look elsewhere. I think they need someone who is also a little more action oriented, which Whalberg can do, but as far as pure talent goes for this sort of thing, there are others I would pick.

Tom Hardy
Chris Pine

That's just to name a couple off the top of my head. Who knows, this is all rumor at this point anyway right?

Yeah its rumor, im just saying they supposedly offered Mark this role. These rumors don't come out of the blue, they usuelly have some credit behind them. So if he says no then it stays a rumor, was never true in our eyes.

However the fact that they already thought about him as a possibility suggests they want a bigger named actor in the role. Thus I think your options are limited, especially since it has interest now if he does decide to not take the role.
