The Paperboy (2013)

Directed by Oscar nominee, Lee Daniels (Precious), The Paperboy follows two brothers: Ward (Matthew McConaughey), a reporter for the esteemed daily newspaper, The Miami Times, and Jack (Zac Efron), a recent college dropout. When Ward shows up with his writing partner, Yardley (David Oyelowo), to investigate a story, Ward asks Jack to accompany them as their driver. Ward is in town because a local woman named Charlotte (Nicole Kidman) has convinced them that Hillary Van Wetter (John Cusack), an unsavory alligator hunter from the backwoods, was wrongly convicted at a trial that took place near their hometown. As the investigation unravels, it becomes clear that these brothers are on a journey that is filled with betrayal. The only thing that remains constant is that there is this strange, beautiful woman who falls in love with killers and her passion could be everyone’s downfall.
