The first 20 minutes or so of this film is good. It tackles a common problem in society of an adult man chatting with an underage girl online and agreeing to meet up with her. An interesting concept with promise that could have gone in a number of different directions and been a really good film.
But the route 'Hard Candy' goes down is one of torture, suffering and emotional manipulation. Despite the potential for a interesting plot, the film instead becomes nothing more than a back-to-back series of near-unwatchable torture scenes that nobody in their right mind could possibly get any enjoyment out of.
Contrary to what others have said I thought 'Hard Candy' was unconvincing and poorly made - overwritten and overacted throughout, with scenes and scenarios that would never realistically happen in real life. A horrible film with no purpose other than to shock and disgust the audience.
