Movie star Bo Laramie (Cole Hauser) is understandably furious when, thanks to the notorious celebrity-chasers, his wife, Abby (Robin Tunney), is seriously injured, and his eight-year-old son is paralyzed. After the accident, Bo dedicates his life to putting a stop to a paparazzo's deadly overzealousness. Chris Rock, Matthew McConaughey, Mel Gibson, and Vince Vaughn are reported to be featured in cameo appearances. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
It doesn't take long for the film to devolve into a ludicrously far-fetched Celebrity Death Wish.
-
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice
An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship.
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
Visually uninspired and dramatically overheated, Paparazzi has overall look and feel of generic direct-to-video production.
-
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
A vigilante movie so sleazy and creepy it makes Death Wish look like a comedy.
-
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
A vigilante fable so boorish, brainless and mean-spirited, everyone involved should be locked up for assault.
