But before she knows it she's mixing drinks at Jeff's place and stripping for an impromptu photo shoot. It's Jeff's lucky night. But Hayley isn't as innocent as she looks and the night takes a turn when she begins to impose a hard-hitting investigation on Jeff in an attempt to reveal his possibly scandalous past.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 031398201168 Manufacturer No: 20116 Amazon.com: The supercharged possibilities of a single set and two amped-up actors are explored in Hard Candy, a twisted cocktail with a poison kicker. After a flirtatious encounter in an online chat room, two people agree to meet for coffee: a 32-year-old man (Patrick Wilson) and a 14-year-old girl (Ellen Page). They quickly advance to his house, and just as quickly, the apparent pedophilic seduction morphs into something else entirely. After the tables turn, Hard Candy becomes a tale of revenge and torture that might have tempted a filmmaker like Park Chanwook. Here, first-time feature director David Slade opts for a slick look that stays close to the actors, and you can't really blame him--this movie is like a conceptual, more-than-slightly unbelievable off-Broadway play, a showcase for actors and "controversial" ideas. Those actors are strong: Patrick Wilson (Angels in America, Phantom of the Opera) is every bit as creepy as he needs to be, and Ellen Page has nothing short of a triumph. The Canadian actress was around 18 when she shot the film, but looks like an adolescent, which makes her authoritative wrath all the more shocking to witness. The provocations of Hard Candy sometimes seem arbitrary or forced, but Page's electrifying performance can't be denied, or dismissed. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Pretty good movieThis was a good movie, suspenseful, you never know what's going to happen. The end is confusing and I didn't like it that much, but overall it was good drama, interesting story. Rating: - i love to be provokedregardless of what you think or how you feel about this film ; is that plausible ? is this aspect feasible ? could that play out like that ? you'll probably be gripping your chair and talking to the screen in your home . that's the goal . two excellent leads . a lot of great writing and acting . solid filmaking that will "tug" at your ability to weather a harrowing story . Rating: - OMIGOD! WHAT THE [...] IS THIS!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ok let me tell you upfront that i never write a review for a movie.

I would purchase from the same seller again Rating: - Riveting psychothrillerThere are movies that haunt you and others that keep you guessing; there are horror flicks and daring mind-benders; there are suspense ridden narratives and atypical treaures: Hard candy is all of the above. The terrible intolerable need to continue watching absorbs and terrifies while you seem disturbed by a need to find a side to root for. The pedophile photographer who may have committed a homicide or the teenager who seems bent on revenge with such hatred you feel for her psychological statae of ...
