Product Description

Amazon.ca
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

4.0 out of 5 stars a real treat (i've never seen anything like it ) 3.5/5, Nov 21 2007
a 14 year old girl has a three week chat-room relationship with a
man.they decide to meet in person.it turns out he may be not be what he
seems.but then neither is she.i won't give any of the plot away.you
will have to watch the movie to find out more.i will say this film is
along the lines of Fatal Attraction and others of the genre,except it
turns the conventions of the genre upside down and inside out.it's
exceptionally creative and inventive.i haven't seen anything like it
before.i was also really impressed with both the acting and writing,as
well as the dialogue.this is one compelling little thriller,although
thriller might not quite be the correct word.it is certainly harrowing
though.definitely one of the more interesting movies i have seen in a
while.for me,Hard Candy is a 3.5/5
