Paperboy review Product Description
The Paperboy takes audiences deep into the backwaters of steamy 1960s South Florida, as investigative reporter Ward Jansen (Matthew McConaughey) and his partner Yardley Acheman (David Oyelowo) chase a sensational, career-making story. With the help of Ward's younger brother Jack (Zac Efron) and sultry death-row groupie Charlotte Bless (Nicole Kidman), the pair tries to prove violent swamp-dweller Hillary Van Wetter (John Cusack) was framed for the murder of a corrupt local sheriff. Based on the provocative bestselling novel by Pete Dexter (Mulholland Falls, Rush), The Paperboy peels back a sleepy small town's decades-old façade of Southern gentility to reveal a quagmire of evil as dark as a Florida bayou.
A man (John Cusack) convicted of killing a seedy sheriff is given a new life when a female pen pal (Nicole Kidman) enlists the aid of two journalists to try and get him off death row. PRECIOUS' Lee Daniels adapts Pete Dexter's novel.

Paperboy Reviews:
"Both Efron and McConaughey get very messed up physically, and both actors seem stimulated to be playing such flawed characters. Kidman exults in tramping it up but also reveals Charlotte’s superficial strength and more fundamental weakness." -- Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
"[Kidman] is a force of nature, more vulnerable, more sensual than she has ever been.... The freedom she exudes is intoxicating... "-- Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
3 stars out of 4 -- "THE PAPERBOY is the first film directed by Lee Daniels since he made PRECIOUS, and it shows the same instinct for overwrought melodrama." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[D]efinitely memorable.... [A] passionate film about the most passionate thing of all: infatuation." -- Amy Nicholson, Box Office.
