Goofs:
Continuity: Near the end of the film, the girl is shown having trouble heaving the unconscious body of the man across the floor. The next time we see the man, he is standing upright on a chair with a noose around his neck. There is no way to stand an unconscious man up on a chair, and the girl was clearly not strong enough to force him onto the chair were he awake. Getting the man into this position is left unexplained presumably because it would be impossible.

I saw the trailer for Hard Candy when I went to see Hostel (which sucked, but we'll not get into that). I was immediately drawn to it. It's suppose to come out April 14th but it came through with the Central Florida Film Festival two weeks early. I could have waited and paid less and got a better seat, but oh my god, even with a crap view I was blown away.
The cinematography was masterful, the acting was spectacular, the dialogue was a little awkward in pints but never really faltered, and the plot! You would think a movie consisting of 2 characters in a house would have it moments of tediousness, but not at all. So many psychological thrills it will set your mind a boggling.
