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:  - It had potential, but ran out of gas midway throughThis movie started with so much promise, but the writers did know how to bring the movie "home". The first seventy-five percent of the movie is intriguing, but the last twenty-five is ordinary and non-imaginary. It's climax is a let down. Rating:  - Should You Choose To Accept This Mission...I do love Ellen Page but for this film you would have to suspend disbelief to a state that just isn't available to me since I got into therapy. You have to be able to buy that a 14 year old girl is able to first solve the disappearance and murder of another young girl that the police have been unable to solve. Then that she has the technical abilities to trace the offender, engage him in a ruse that he will buy into and get her into his house whereupon she is able to GHB ...

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. But "Hard Candy" is one of the most SCARIEST movie EVER CREATED! It is Completley terrifying and psychologically harrowing!!! Ellen Page was phenomenal!
