how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 35 comments (34 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 9 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 9 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“a slow and incoherent plot”
famfacat · Metacritic ↗
“the first problem with Max Payne is heavy handed and droning attempt to develop a two dimensional character”
horrorbouy · Metacritic ↗
“We really don't know why Max is seeking revenge until about halfway through the film from a flashback scene. They spend a little too much time on the wings and building u”

“the ending is quite exciting”

“absolutely plotless until about halfway through when the drug, Valkyr, appears”
gamerz4life · Metacritic ↗
“at the very beginning when someone who works in the cold case unit asks if Max Payne wants a beer after work. Wahlberg just completely ignores him. Why is there no interaction between these two characters? Who knows.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“A dumb film with a great conceptual hook from a director who visualizes better than he dramatizes.”
Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 67
“For a movie of its type, Max Payne is a little short on excitement and heavy on pathos.”
Cammila Albertson, TV Guide Magazine · 63
“Simple, it is as by-the-books formulaic as can be, and there's not a surprise around that the corner that isn't obvious immediately.”
Mark Bell, Film Threat · 60
“The film provides ample opportunity to attack the MPAA's hypocrisy. Max Payne is a bloodbath, yet it manages a PG-13 rating by keeping the explicitness of the killings just a whisker shy of what would be necessary for an R.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 50
“Max Payne, game or movie, has precious little to say.”
Rick Groen, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) · 50

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“# Avoid Watch a "Let's Play" of the games instead, or something. The original Max Payne 1-3 are great games, not only ground-breaking in technical perspective at their time, but also with a gripping story, and a good amount of fourth wall reflections. Movies based on video games rarely work out; but some deserve recognition. This however is a complete failure. It gives the strong impression they didn't know the source material beyond a one-page summary. So, I end my review by closing”
