The Paperboy (2012)
7/10
Something really unnerving about this movie
29 November 2021
A star studded film usually never fails to pull us in to it, because we believe those actors are very good. Same happens here. The movie successfully creates tense situations at the right time to rile up the audience and get interested. Nicole Kidman has played one of her best roles, and so has Zac Efron. A nice pair up of Mathew McConnaughey and Zac for the first time as brothers. John Cusack delivers well in his role of a villain, as we fear him and hate him, which is what a good villain is supposed to make is feel. The storyline is prepared well, but the final execution lacks a bit of grip. In a way, the spirits of a mediocre storyline have been lifted by the actors.

A partially simulated sex scene and a suggestive orgasm scene is there, so parental guidance would be better.

I watched it on Prime Video.

My rating 7/10.
