Speaking at the movie's Hollywood premiere, the actor said the idea of making a flick based on a video game "raised a red flag" with him at first.
He explained: "Well, I read the script first, then I went back and checked out the game because I was a little nervous.
"It raised a red flag for me to be honest, because the games I grew up playing had no story whatsoever, but games have changed quite a bit since I was a kid."
Mark - who attended the premiere with his partner Rhea Durham - is confident fans of the dark shoot 'em up game won't be disappointed with the crime thriller.
"[It stays] very true but it also takes it to another level," said the 37-year-old. "I know the die-hard gamers are going to be satisfied and I think we did them justice."
The star added that he relished the chance to get in touch with his darker side.
"I'm a glutton for punishment, I like to go to a dark place, I have a lot of real life experience I can draw on and to put it to good use is therapeutic at times," he said.
