greedo626 Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 I just saw ttt again and there was a trailer for a new movie called 'a man apart'. as I was watching it I thought it was going to be max payne. the storyline is: a narc cop has his wife murdered by drugie guys and then he has nothing left to live for so he goes renagade on all the baddies. wtf? the writers of this movie have played max payne too much:confused:
C'jais Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 I gotta see this. And yes, it does sound frightfully like a Max P. rip off.
Reborn Outcast Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Is that the one with Vin Diesel? Cause yes it def does look like a rip.
Breton Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 You can see the trailer here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/a_man_apart/ It is a rip-off, IMO.
El Sitherino Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 actually its a basic storyline. this is a storyline thats really old ive seen a movie like this before. i believe this is a remake of an old 70's movie. not sure though.
Andy867 Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 So what if its a rip-off? Max Payne is a rip-off of a late 80's-early 90's video game (can't remember the name, but the story is the same.) My girlfriend wants to see it because of Diesel being in it. But explain this, if its a rip-off, does that mean Max Payne grew up in a rough neighborhood as a child, did drugs himself, got his life turned around, became a cop, lost his wife so he goes vigilante? And from my understanding, Vin Diesel's character isn't framed for murder, he just goes with a handful of people, including a jailed druglord against the new baddie. So, from that view point, they are 2 HIGHLY different storylines. One is a fugitive trying to clear his name, the other is just trying to avenge his wife's death. So, no it isnt a rip-off of Max Payne, its a new story.
The Truthful Liar Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Originally posted by Andy867 One is a fugitive trying to clear his name, the other is just trying to avenge his wife's death. So, no it isnt a rip-off of Max Payne, its a new story. Put the two together and you have The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford. :]
El Sitherino Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 guys just dont let this turn into a battle of the super powers. jk. but i still know this is one of those recycled storylines. so is max payne.

Riiiight. Because that story had never been done before Max Payne.
greedo626 Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 I'm not saying that max payne is original or coming down on a man apart, but the movie's storyline is close enough to the game's that it could be the max payne movie.
Lost Welshman Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 The film sounds like max payne with out bullet time, Id just get the game (Although I already have it?).
Andy867 Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 But you guys are missing the obvious point, which that in Max Payne, he is a wanted fugitive so he has to worry about the police and the drug lord who killed his wife and child, where Vetter(Diesel) is a cop who loses his wife to a drug lord and hires help from a fellow officer and recently jailed drug lord to help bring the new drug lord. That alone splits the two storylines. And the fact that Vetter grew up in a rough neighborhood, giving him an edge on how to deal with the baddies also splits the margin even more. So, enough with saying that A movie is a rip-off of a video game.
