	Xolair 2007-11-10 #3 Heh, he's certainly a pretty good actor, and does have some resemblance with the big MP. I'm a bit worried about the director and the screenplay writer, though...
	Burtnic 2007-11-10 #4 He is an 'okay' actor.... I mean for christ sake, anyone watch Shooter.... good F'ing god! Danny Glover accidentally put the wrong dentures in for the whole filming of the movie and Wahlberg mumbled and burbled rather than actually speaking. A terrible knock of the Bourne movies In the Departed he was pretty good, edgy, unforgiving ******* type.
	ajbarnes 2007-11-10 #5 Wahlberg was pretty good in The Departed (likely because he grew up with that accent in the area where the film was set), but in most films he's painful to watch (except in I Heart Huckabees, where he was quite funny). But to me, he'll always be Marky Mark.
	Unregistered 2008-02-26 #6 No idea about the writer but if the director can pull off the action he did in Behind Enemy Lines I'll be happy.

I was wondering if that was just part of his charactor, or had some kind of mouth trauma/surgery that gave him that slurrrr. "SLLLLLLLEEEON" translation "Son"

	frogdipp 2008-06-01 #9 I can't wait until it comes out! I can see Mark playing as Max Payne! I hope the movie has some slow mo in it and sounds to go with it! Reloading in slow mo was cool man!
