But this movie is so heavy-handed, amoral and clumsy in its evocation of the “Death Wish” style justification for revenge that you want to shower immediately after leaving the theater.

You know exactly what’s going to happen so it makes it all the more infuriating to have to sit there and endure it. “Paparazzi” has all the subtlety of an anvil and the all the class of those folks who throw bags of McDonald’s trash out of their cars.
