Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Pointedly ugly vigilante screed.
It doesn't take long for the film to devolve into a ludicrously far-fetched Celebrity Death Wish.
An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship.
Visually uninspired and dramatically overheated, Paparazzi has overall look and feel of generic direct-to-video production.
