Action film superstar Bo Laramie (Cole Hauser) seems to have it all: beautiful wife, adoring son and a Malibu beach house. But his newfound fame comes with a price: he's the target of paparazzi bent on making Bo and his loved ones fodder for the tabloids. Led by "superstar" photographer, Rex (Tom Sizemore), the paparazzi become increasingly relentless, until one night their ruthless actions turn Bo and his family into victims of a terrible accident. With the police unable to help, Bo seeks vengeance on his own and the paparazzi start falling...one by one. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

Um «thriller de ação» que pretende ser fixe para espetadores de vídeo pouco exigentes. Para o fá de cinema experiente, com uma pitada de bom gosto, trata-se apenas de um filme B cliché, com erros lógicos, que adapta a realidade às suas próprias regras, sobre uma vingança odiosa contra papparazzi. Um entretenimento estúpido, no estilo dos filmes de ação dos anos oitenta, num ambiente esteticamente mais agradável de show-businesses de cinema. Pelo menos, Walking Tall - Justiceiro Incorruptível não pretendia ser algo mais, não foi produzido por Mel Gibson e foi sem papéis cameo de estrelas... **1/2

I'm not that disappointed. But that doesn't change the fact that this movie is just an average thriller. It should be taken with a grain of salt, because it certainly wouldn't have ended up so stupidly. An uncomplicated film for when I don't want to think.

The acting stars, led by Mel Gibson, seemed to have run out of patience and decided to settle their differences with their number one enemies through the closest available means - a film - instead of endless legal battles. Whatever producer Mel Gibson wanted from writer Forrest Smith and director Paul Abascal, the result is rather sheepish. An unrestrained thriller, spiced up with a touch of action, and wrapped in an atmosphere of dense moralizing on the topic of how much one can afford to give up their privacy. Smith's story is terrible, but that's to be expected. However, there is something else I don’t understand. That is the fact that the paparazzi are portrayed as the biggest scoundrels in the world, who only make the lives of honest, moral, and well-intentioned celebrities miserable, destroying their hard-earned achievements. Bo Laramie embodies all the ideals of a Hollywood actor that we won't find on the pages of the (real) tabloids. He's got a decent family life, and his job as an action hero is going well, so when he turns into a ruthless god of vengeance in the second half of the film, why not root for him? He has little need to justify his behavior, which takes the bloody path of a fierce duel with the malicious paparazzi. After all, it's about the welfare of his family. I wouldn't mind that. I see violence in movies every day, so why suddenly blame Paparazzi? It’s because if Smith and Abascal suddenly want to fervently moralize about the (for actors so significant) topic of their privacy, they should form a coherent opinion on the matter and discuss it from all sides, including the "other" side. This left a great idea lying under a layer of mud called bias. What the stars probably don't realize is that these people are the reason they have gained much of their fame and popularity. Excuse me, but the paparazzi are still divided into the good ones and the bad ones, right?
