Hard Candy is a movie that was on my list to watch for a very long time. After finally watching it. I was a bit disappointed. There are two movies that are based on the same idea as this movie and that is 7 Days and Daddy's Little Girl. Both of the movies i just listed are far more interesting then this movie was.
The acting was alright, the camera work is fine, i just find the movie a bit dull, and neither of our characters are really developed. Both the girl and the Jeff we barely know anything about them, except they have chatted online. I wish we had like 10 minutes of depth at least to the girl, why is she doing what she is doing? You can say, sure justice for the ones that do this stuff. But the matter is, she is just a teen, why would a teen this age do this?
Also the movie is ridiculously tame. Compared to Daddy's Little Girl and 7 Days that both showcase gore, and they make the movie 20 times more interesting. This movie i wish i could put it in the same league, but it's just not. There really isn't any gore. All of it it's offscreen, only a vasectomy scene that never is shown and that's kinda the whole movie. The idea is good i am not saying that, i am just saying the movie is too slow.
Also, the main heroine of the movie, the girl. I had a bit of a problem with her. She does not come off as likeable. She just has a brat attitude and i wish they made her a bit more likeable like Hobo from Hobo with a Shotgun, she really comes off as a little brat.
I am on a fence with this movie, at one hand it was sort of fun, in the other it just drags forever, and there is zero gore.
