Fan Casting Mona Sax in John Woo's Max Payne

Mona is a contract killer with an icy composure that masks a bottomless hunger for revenge against the man who murdered her twin sister, Lisa—the abused wife of mob boss Angelo Punchinello. Lisa is a brief, radiant presence whose death stains every frame, and Mona a reluctant ally who drugs Max, saves him, and ultimately takes a bullet meant for him. Her face becomes the film's recurring motif: love destroyed, love weaponized, love sacrificed.
