Hmm I purchased the DVD from my local Blockbuster for 7 bucks with Sideways which was also 7 bucks oddly enough, I thought if the price is so drastically down already it can't be good but boy was I wrong.

The film is basically about a guy named Bo Laramie, a rising action star being messed with by a vindictive group of paparazzi, given I doubt the real ones are this vindictive or terrible but from the pictures I've seen online of famous people they aren't far off.

The thing that sets Bo off is them taking pictures of his son which if you ask me is wrong anyway because children of famous people are off limits because of kidnappers and stalkers and even basic morals. GET A LIFE!

I think this film progresses well, every character is played perfectly or as perfect as a film can be. They are believable except the detective who I don't know but he just hurts the movie a little.

Tom Sizemore is a great creepy rapist, he plays it well... I don't know if that's what he needs right now but hey if the shoe fits.

I would have liked to see a bit more of Bo as an actor and on the set of his film but what can you do after the fact but be disappointed they didn't try harder to make his action hero status (In the films reality) more out there instead of basically ignoring it.

In no way is this a great film and it's not a terrible film either, it would fit on the big scale between average and good which is nothing special... If you want a new experience though this may be one to pick up and watch.

Overall the film deserves a 7 out of 10 because they did something original and didn't do another remake or sequel so it has something going for it.

Yeah, I bought this DVD for 7 bucks too and I definately wasn't expecting much but I couldn't turn down the price! I ended up loving this movie i watched it again the next day! I wonder why it didn't stay in theatres and wasn't more popular!

The subject, when people try to do something original it becomes overlooked. Sideways was also pretty good but of course both films aren't without their flaws and plot holes but for the money they are definitely worth it.
