The Paperboy - DM Review

Trashy, bonkers, lurid, colourful, confused and not very good....BUT during viewing it gripped me in a strange way and had me locked in until the end. It bullied me into submission and by the end I was almost convinced.
Away from the cinema and upon reflection however, it was a bad film. The plot ridiculous, the direction a bit of a shambles, the editing messy and the soundtrack blaring.
Some good points - I liked the Zac Efron/Macy Gray relationship. Actually Zac Efron was my favourite thing in this film (I never thought I would write those words).

A crazy film that had me during the viewing but ultimately The Paperboy failed to deliver (boom boom).

4/10
