If they did it right, maybe. For the movie, they would have to cut out a lot of the filler missions in the game, such as Mercer hunting down military personnel to learn how to drive vehicles to transport person A to point B, all the boss fights, and various other things.
If they made the main plot about Mercer struggling to cope with these new powers, while being hunted by the military during a large-scale city infection, while he's trying to figure out the past through short flashback sequences like in the game, then it might work, though these flashbacks would have to be few and far between and there would have to be some very solid character progression.
I don't really have faith in anyone handling this project, so TBH, with the current set of writers/directors that would be involved in a project like THIS? No, I don't think it would make a good movie. It has the potential to, but odds are it wouldn't.
