Max freely admits that he’s bad at his job. If you’ve hired Max Payne to protect you, know that you’ve got roughly an hour left to live.
It turns out that Max is worse at bodyguarding than he was at police work. In Max Payne 3, Max has relocated to São Paulo, Brazil (which he calls, in a line guaranteed to offend everyone, “Baghdad in G-strings”), to work as the bodyguard to a family of real-estate scumbags. In previous Max Payne games (and one extraordinarily ill-advised movie) Max worked as an NYPD police officer with an unusual knack for getting everyone he loves - wife, baby, girlfriend - killed. Max Payne is, among many other things, really bad at his job.
