Fan Casting Detective Rico Morte in John Woo's Max Payne

A dirty cop on Horne's payroll who shadows Max throughout Act II, trying to frame him for Alex Balder's murder. Morte is a weary, pragmatic functionary—he's not evil, just corrupt. He offers Max a deal to walk away, then dies with a single, non-stylized bullet to the forehead. His death is cold, silent, and utterly unceremonious—a warning of what Max could have become.
