Synopsis: The story follows an action film superstar, Bo Laramie
(Cole Hauser), who's constantly harassed by a group of photographers
(lead by Tom Sizemore). One day, the paparazzi cause Bo and his
family to get into a car accident. Even after the accident, the
paparazzi continue with the onslaught of photographs and false stories,
which sends Bo on a mission for revenge.
Gotta hate those paparazzi's. What makes this movie fun and
interesting is that you get to see what kind of crap movie stars go
through when they've got these pricks following them around for a few
quick bucks. In this case, Bo Laramie had just made it big with
his first action movie. From that point on and during the film
shoot for the sequel, Bo and his family are constantly followed by Rex
Harper (Tom Sizemore) and his posse (one of them played by Daniel
Baldwin). There's no real explanation as to why they decide to go
after Bo...I guess they just flipped a coin. The movie is decent
right up until the car accident and it kicks into high gear right after
that. That's when Bo decides to get his revenge on these bastards
and goes after them one at a time.
The performances are pretty good. Cole Hauser (Dazed And
Confused, Pitch Black), who plays Bo, is awesome in his role.
Robin Tunney (The Craft) also does a good job as his wife. Tom
Sizemore is the ultimate a-hole as Rex Harper who wants to do anything
to destroy Bo's image. Dennis Farina also stars as a detective
who is trying to help Bo but also thinks he may have something to do
with the attacks on the paparazzi crew. All in all, great
performances in a great movie that unfortunately disappeared very
quickly in theatres. Hopefully it'll get the attention it
deserves on dvd.
I can tell you this...I'd love to see a sequel for this with some new
paparazzi pricks going after Bo on the set of his third movie of the
action trilogy. His son will get kidnapped or something and Bo
snaps and goes on a killing spree. Sweet!
Cool Paparazzi facts: There are several cool cameos in this film
that I found pretty cool. Vince Vaughn has a small cameo, as well
as Mel Gibson as an anger management therapy patient and Chris Rock as
a pizza delivery guy. The coolest cameo has to be Matthew
McConaughey as himself. Why is it the coolest?
C'mon!! McConaughey and Hauser were co-stars in "Dazed And
Confused" as David Wooderson and Benny O'Donnell.
