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.

  • Al S


    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.

  • Drew S


    A violent, stupid and completely pointless revenge film.

  • Aaron N


    No, this is the rating you give to awful movies.

  • Remi L


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

  • Lee K


    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
