Hard Candy

Starring: Sandra Oh, Patrick Wilson, Ellen Page

Directed by: David Slade

RS: 2.5of 4 Stars

Hayley (Ellen Page) is a cute fourteen year old who meets a 30-something photographer, Jeff (Patrick Wilson) on-line, then in a cafe, and then they go back to his place. Superbly acted but overlong, this sadistic thriller focuses on how crazy Haley makes predatory pedophile Jeff pay for his perversions, as well as the that fact he tried to impress her by using "the same phrases about Goldfrappe as they do on Amazon.com." Like Hayley says, "This is officially sick."
