A group of bickering, unlikable twenty-somethings head off into the woods for a so-called "extreme paintball" experience... and soon they're being picked off one by one by an unseen sniper who's using live ammo instead of paintballs. Lots of running, screaming and shaky-cam irritation ensues.

"Paintball" could have been a decent suspense/thriller but the amateur-night performances and sloppy direction kill this one virtually from the get-go. The characters are all cardboard cut outs with no depth to them, so you won't even care when they start getting killed off. None of the performers can act, either, so even if the script gave them more to do besides stumble around in the woods screaming at each other, they probably wouldn't have been able to pull it off anyway.

"Paintball" wants to be "The Most Dangerous Game," but it's more like a cheap mix of bits stolen from "Hostel" and "Blair Witch Project," with some action movie cliche's sprinkled on top. Avoid.
