I really liked this movie. Crazy the things paparazzi will do to capture the perfect picture. Great acting from everyone. This film was kind of like an inside look on what its like to be a celebrity and have cameras at your back door and in your face 24/7. So sad what happened to the Laramies, that part killed me the most.
... View MoreGotta love Tom Sizemore. Every film he does, no matter how low budget, no matter how big budget, he's just a fantastic actor. The same can be said of the newer Cole Hauser, who gives it his all in "Papparazzi".Big-time movie star Bo Laramie (Hauser) is being stalked by Rex Harper (Sizemore) and his group of reporters (Kevin Gage, Tom Hollander, and Daniel Baldwin), which eventually leads to a breathtaking accident that injures his wife (Robin Tunney) and son. Instead of helping Laramie, Harper and his crew take pictures of the accident and publicize it to make Laramie and family look ignorant and stupid. An angry Laramie then takes the law into his own hands and takes revenge on the reporters.What a movie! I loved it. A great tale of revenge, and one of Sizemore's best performances. He just played an outstanding sleaze. Hauser was great too, but it was really Sizemore's movie. See it for him. The rest of the cast, including Dennis Farina as a Detective, is also great. The other reporters echo Sizemore's sleaze. Not to mention a cool slew of celebrity cameos, including Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson.All in all, a fantastic movie. Definitely check this one out.
... View MoreThis movie shows the ugly side of being famous if you will. Paparazzi have always been into the lives of the rich and famous, just look at all those "rag" magazines,, the tabloids. anyways, the movie rocks, plain and simple, great story, very good acting i thought. Cole Hauser was pretty darn good, but the best performance hands down goes to Tom Sizemore, as the sleezy lead photographer. Dennis Farina plays a wiley cop on the trail of Bo, and the Paparazzi, William Baldwin is also in this movie and does a fairly decent job in here as well, i love how the story was set up, and then you had certain twists in the movie, this is basically a story of what would you do if you're family was in danger, or harmed in anyway.. All in all i really can't think of anything terribly awful in this movie at all, i loved the photography and the camera angles as well,, thumbs up for me on this one.
... View More*Paparazzi On SPOILERS* When Bo Laramie (Cole Hauser) got his big break in Hollywood, he thought he was ready for everything, good or bad, but a quartet of particularly vicious paparazzi (so what, they have a professional ethic too), ready to do ANYTHING for a scoop (I think those are called 'Stalkerazzi'); they are Rex Harper (Tom Sizemore), Wendell Stokes (Daniel Baldwin), Leonard Clark (Tom Hollander) and Kevin Rosner (Kevin Gage).For a hot photo they manage to cause an accident in which Bo gets hurt, his wife Abby (Robin Tunney) is left in need of instant surgery and his son Zach (Blake Bryan) is left in a coma. And after having seen the latest fake news about him and his family, Bo snaps and goes after the paparazzi...A nice little movie, with an original twist on the 'personal revenge' thriller subgenre, 'Paparazzi' manages to keep the viewer's attention, and also leave a little impression.It may be no classic, but it's certainly a good movie.And pay attention to Mel Gibson's ironic self-reference as a waiting patient in Bo's therapist's waiting room. And let me say that he needs it...Paparazzi: 8/10.
