What Reelgood users are saying

The reviews praise "The Paperboy" for its originality and excellent acting, though some characters lack depth. The story is complex and based on real life. A standout scene involves a confrontation in a swamp.

Wild movie. My favorite scene was the final scene when they confront the killer in the swamp.A newsman and his brother, along with a woman, investigate a murdered the think is innocent. They get the killer out of jail, just for him to kill the woman. They confront him in the swamp and he kills the newsman but the brother gets away. The killer gets convicted and put to death.

Super good. Very original, based on real life. Excellent acting. I do fe like there was a lack of depth in some characters but it’s a complicated story and I’m going to read the book.
