Run Time: 1hr. 39 min.
Max Payne is a maverick cop–a mythic anti-hero–determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murders of his family and partner.

SLAUGHTERING STORES THIS WEEK
STUCK
Rated: R
Starring Mena Suvari, Stephen Rea, Russell Hornsby
Directed by Stuart Gordon
Run Time: 85 Min.
Mena Suvari (American Beauty) unforgettably stars as Brandi, a hard-partying, overworked nursing assistant in this delicious, darkly humorous psychological thriller from director Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond). Brandi accidentally steers her car into a homeless man, movingly played by Stephen Rea (The Crying Game), sending him flying through the windshield. Not wanting to jeopardize a possible job promotion, she chooses not to get him medical help, leaving him clinging to life in her garage. But soon her psyche begins to unravel as captor and captive are pitted against each other in a bloody…even outrageous battle for survival. Director Stuart Gordon delivers what Variety called “ingeniously nasty and often shockingly funny” entertainment.
