An average movie

Even though this movie had a rather lame reputation, since I  have a weak spot for Mark Wahlberg, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, I'm not really familiar with the video game it was based on but, with these modern video games, they should definitely be able to deliver something pretty cool but, unfortunately, most of the time, they messed it up pretty bad and this movie was not an exception, I’m afraid. I mean, I did like the mood, it was visually not bad at all and the Valkyr concept was interesting but there were basically 2 issues with this movie. First of all,  I thought it was seriously poorly written and, even though it was in fact a rather simple story, it was actually rather difficult to follow. Furthermore, I always thought that Mark Wahlberg had some potential, he has delivered at least 4 decent performances (‘Boogie night’, ‘Three kings’, ‘I heart Huckabees’, ‘The Departed’) but I think he actually gave here his worst performance so far. The craziest thing about this, is that, according to IMDB, Wahlberg said that his performance in this movie was his favorite one…  Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing had some potential but it turned out to seriously underwhelming and I don’t think it is worth a look.
