Editorial Review: Description: Action film superstar Bo Laramie (Cole Hauser) seems to have it all: beautiful wife, adoring son and a Malibu beach house. But his newfound fame comes with a price Â? heÂ's the target of paparazzi bent on making Bo and his loved ones fodder for the tabloids. Led by Â"superstarÂ" photographer, Rex (Tom Sizemore), the paparazzi become increasingly relentless, until one night their ruthless actions turn Bo and his family into victims of a terrible accident. With the police unable to help, Bo seeks vengeance on his own Â? and the paparazzi start fallingÂ...one by one. Amazon.com: Looking for a movie in which the "good guy" gets away with murder? Then Paparazzi is just for you -- a critically maligned, morally repugnant yet primitively satisfying thriller in which a rising action star (Cole Hauser) gets revenge on the tabloid photographers who stalk him every day, ruining his private life and nearly killing his wife (Robin Tunney) and young son. Coproduced by Mel Gibson (who makes a cameo appearance, along with Vince Vaughn, Chris Rock, and Matthew McConaughey), this is precisely the kind of pulp that Gibson starred in during the '80s and '90s, and you can bet he relished the premise, in which the most ruthless celebrity shutterbug (Tom Sizemore, at his most despicable) becomes the victim of his own corrupted ethics. Hauser's father, the great B-movie villain Wings Hauser, made a career out of crap like this, and his son brings a kind of foul integrity to his leading-man role while Dennis Farina channels Columbo as a detective on the prowl. As exploitative potboilers go, Paparazzi may be sick, but at least it's entertaining. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Underside of "Paparazzi"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker Shadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake Having been a Hollywood publicist for over thirty years, I've had my fair share of dealings with celebrity photographers known as "paparazzi". Most of these photo journalists are nice guys; respectful of their famous subjects whose candid pictures earn them big bucks from various magazines and the tabloids. However, there are some ...

It seems that the only thing worth commenting on these days is where Britney Spears was last seen and which new stud muffin accompanied Angelina Jolie to the premier of her latest movie. The paparazzi have become the new Television News Anchors, our personal tour guides through the lives of our latest obsessions. I personally feel that when you star in your first film or put out ... Read More Rating:  - Revenge is Sweet *o*One of my all-time favorite budget movies, with a great plot, good acting and some great dark humor ^o^ I NEVER buy DVDs, but HAD to pick this one up after seeing it on OnDemand~ ^__^ Must see~ Rating:  - Well-developedIt's surprising that no one has made this film before now, because it's not only a great idea, I'd bet it's a fantasy that many huge stars have had. Hell, it's a fantasy I have as an everyday schlub when people bug me--or even when I'm in crowds and people are pushy. The odd thing, with the talent and money involved, is that Paparazzi has the feel of a made-for-television film. And one look at director Paul Abascal's resume gives us a likely reason--this is his only feature film as helmer ... Read More Rating: - Cole Hauser, Cardboard, Can't ActThis movie is beyond bad. It could have been a little better but the script and direction and, oh yes, the star Cole Hauser are pretty poor. There are a few good action sequences and a few unintentional laughs (hence 2 stars) but that's it! Bottom line: Cole Hauser just can't act. Browse for similar items by category:
