Innovative, ground breaking cinema? No. But it's still a pretty decent ride, and this movie is filled with cameos. I wouldn't own the movie, but it is what it is. An hour of action, and drama that unfolds with the hollywood ending that you knew was coming all along. Obviously wri... read more

Could of been a decent revenge-action flick with a performance from a promisiung new star but only feels like dull, dark and recklass thriller where the good guy gets away with murder.

This film made me sympathize more with public figures and celebrities. Regardless of your fame or profession, everyone's entitled to their privacy.

I enjoyed this alot, however unless you already do? it makes you hate the press. A nod to tom sizemore who always plays good charectors. Interesting storyline to boot

I think if that TMZ show is on the air for more than 5 more years this movie will be hailed as a masterpiece. Granted, at the moment I do love how it portrays the paparazzis as pure scum, worse than anyone Bronson ever had to kill, and Baldwin and Sizemore are amazing. But I re... read more

This was a decent film. Having Tom Sizemore to play one of the scumbags was a nice choice. I'm not sure why Chris Rock had that small cameo when he could have chosen a bigger part, but nice to see him.

Was worried this movie would make me very angry, but once the vigilante justice started all was well.
Critic Reviews
An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship. Full Review
Visually uninspired and dramatically overheated, Paparazzi has overall look and feel of generic direct-to-video production. Full Review
A vigilante movie so sleazy and creepy it makes Death Wish look like a comedy. Full Review
A vigilante fable so boorish, brainless and mean-spirited, everyone involved should be locked up for assault. Full Review
For anyone who's ever wondered how good it would feel to knock down a photographer with his car and then back over him. Full Review
No serious exploration of the issue of the invasion of privacy of celebrities but a classic exploitation picture -- topical, punchy, occasionally unintentionally laughable and morally dubious. Full Review
One has the sense that if the level of violence had been ratcheted up a little, Paparazzi might have been more of a guilty pleasure and less of a chore to watch. Full Review
A cheeseball revenge thriller with an alarmingly twisted moral.
Burdened with wooden acting and a laughable, Death Wish-like premise.
