[edit] Plot

I don't think the plot has been detailed as much as the article's plot summary says. The current text offers no source. Can anyone confirm? Cbebop007 (talk) 02:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

mm did a special page exists for the max payne payne and redemtion controversy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.181.102.3 (talk) 18:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Characters

IMDB lists Nelly Furtado's character as Christa Balder, and since the actor playing Balder is Irish and the Furtado is far from it, I'm guessing they aren't siblings. Ergo, stop changing it to "Christina Balder - Alex Balder's sister" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.69.202.115 (talk) 12:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

There are no citations offered for either the plot synopsis or the cast list which leads one to wonder if some of this is just wild speculation? IMDB verifies only a portion of the cast list on this page and I have to wonder where the rest of the information is coming from. At the moment this page is of really questionable reliability.

Maybe the cast list should be pruned until casting can be confirmed? I won't do it given the possibility that the info here COULD be legitimate but some sources would be fantastic. Casshernfan (talk) 15:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I know plenty of the listed cast to be false. Kevin Corrigan, John Moore, Sam Lake, Yvonne McQueen, R. Lee Ermy do not have parts in the movie. I've tried to correct this before but its inevitably rolls back.

The plot, though not precise, is mostly correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by St apathy (talk • contribs) 16:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

And now it appears that Alan Dale is in the movie, hmmm. It would appear that the person to add this *unverified* information has had numerous vandalism warnings and yet when you removed the name it was, as you said, rolled back for no good reason. Maybe a lock should be requested until the entire cast becomes official because this page is running out of control.

Here is possible evidence that Alan Dale is not in this, as of April 2008, according to imdb, he has been in a west end production of Spamalot. Casshernfan (talk) 13:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Seconded. And can the cast list be trimmed beyond the IMDb list, I don't think all the actors have to be listed at this point. It should be limited to WAhlberg, Burton, O'Donnell, Kunis, Bridges, Ludacris, Logue and Nolasco. As those seem to be the principal actors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by St apathy (talk • contribs) 17:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Kevin Corigan and Sam Lake's credits have been removed from IMDb. Since all other sources refer to that page, i'm going to remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by St apathy (talk • contribs) 15:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
