The movie starts with Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg) struggling to surface
in a frosted river while also narrating. The film then cuts to one week
earlier, showing Max working as a clerk in the cold-case unit and his
obsession with finding the fleeing killer who brutally murdered his
wife, Michelle, and newborn daughter. Max then attends a party run by
his snitch, Trevor Duncan, where he meets Natasha Sax (Olga Kurylenko)
and her sister, Mona (Mila Kunis). Natasha and Max go back to his place
where she demonstrates her desire to have sex and even offers to act as
Max's deceased wife. An upset Max asks Natasha to leave and while she
is walking in a alleyway and talking to her drug dealer on the phone,
she is hunted, attacked and killed by a mysterious flying entity.
