here' something nice to add to your dvd collection
as plagiarized from ropeofsilicone.com
SYNOPSIS:
"A smart, charming teenage girl, Hayley probably shouldn’t be going to a local coffee shop to meet Jeff, a 30-something fashion photographer she met on the Internet. But Hayley’s ready to have fun, and soon she’s mixing screwdrivers at Jeff’s place and stripping for an impromptu photo shoot. It’s Jeff’s lucky night – until his vision blurs and he passes out.
Turns out Hayley isn’t as innocent as she looks after all. In fact, she has a lot on her mind. Like getting Jeff to confess to his penchant for teenage girls – and to what he did to Donna Mauer, the girl who disappeared from Jeff’s favorite coffee shop.
When Jeff awakens, he’s tied to a chair. If he doesn’t cooperate, Hayley has something to help him along--a little surgical procedure she picked up on the Internet. All she needs is an ice pack. And a knife...
An edge-of-your-seat psychotic thriller, HARD CANDY exposes the visceral terror and violence that lie at the heart of the battle of the sexes. Starring Patrick Wilson (Jeff) and Ellen Page (Hayley Stark) and Sandra Oh (Judy Tokuda), HARD CANDY is directed by David Slade, written by Brian Nelson."
it didnt really get that much good review per se, but if u like watching films, have nothing else to do n dont mind feeling uncomfortable for some time, it's kewl to watch. but so u know u'r warned, here's another plagiarized review of this film... (i know it's not nice but im lazy:P)
Part of a review by Laremy Legel:
"... I've got to commend Ellen Page for her portrayal of Hayley Stark. Stark is a 14 year old with an agenda but she looks much younger than that and thinks much older than that. I guess she was 17 when she filmed this but I'm not sure if it's the hairdo or what but she reminded me of a 5th grader which ratcheted up the creepiness factor. The good news is it also heightened the suspense level as no one wants to see this kind of gal as a sexual being. Another factor in this mental barrage is the hostage because you don't really want to see a dude tortured either. Who do you cheer for, the youngling who may not be playing with a full deck and is out of her element or a probable molester who's taking more than a little bad times? You cheer for Page but it's never a completely black and white issue.
Hard Candy fails at being good because it has enormous logic gaps mixed with a relatively unsatisfying ending. That's not the prescription for greatness! I thought the first 30 minutes were a nice ramp up but this one eats gravel once it gets to the jump. It might be worth seeing if you are film buff, a fan of extreme artistic close-ups, good dialogue, or nice suspense and aren't so hung up on a payoff. On the other hand, if you are the general public you'll probably want to skip this one. I don't know that there was a storyline that would have worked for this idea but I know this one didn't work for me. If I want to feel weird for an hour I'll just go climb the rope in gym class."
HAHAHA. funny guy:))
