This movie was actually okay. Cole Hauser is always awesome and everyone else's acting was good as well. The plot might seem far-fetched to us ordinary citizens but stuff like this actually happens and it was an original idea as well...not some crap remake or endless sequels that have plagued us these past 2 years. The action was adequate and not over-done and it really got me hyped into making sure he obtained his revenge. I also liked the ending a lot and I left the theater completely satisfied. Final Judgment:Movies - Yes (but probably could wait for on rental)DVD - A strong possibilityRental - Absolutely!

I found the movie hearkening back to the revenge thrillers of the '70s and '80s. It moves from point A to point B with little to no surprises, but it's still an enjoyable film. The film actually lived up to the trailer, which made me want to see it.Cole Hauser carried his role of Bo Laramie well.Tom Sizemore oozed the right amount of SCUMBAG for the role, but that comes as no surprise to me.My only real problem was the rather blatant lobotomy they gave Dennis Farina's character. Any detective worth his salt would've instantly made Laramie the prime suspect when the photographers who nearly killed his wife and son turn up dead.Probably wouldn't buy it on DVD, but I'd definitely see it again.

I just saw Paparazzi this evening. Considering that the studio did not have an advanced screening for the press I was not expecting very much, trust me I have seen far worse this summer - Exorcist the Beginning comes to mind! I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised; it was a pretty decent movie. I was entertained for the full 90 minutes. Tom Sizemore nailed the role of a true scumbag.Keep an eye open for Chris Rock, the coolest Pizza Guy you are likely going to see any time soon.If you are looking for an entertaining end of summer movie this certainly might be worth your while to check out.
