NoName1989 Review of Hard Candy

Hard Candy (2005)

Very good cinematography and direction in general and very good acting, but the story doesn't seem right.

[6/10 · 27 July 2007]

In the beginning, this film was very interesting but as soon as Hayley had tied Jeff up, the film deteriorated. Hayley wants to take revenge for all the bad things Jeff had done before. The problem with this film is, that you have lost your sympathy for Hayley halfway the film. After that she is just as bad as Jeff. Jeff did awful things, absolutely! but that doesn't mean that Hayley has the right to do horrible things to him! I know it's just a film, but I hate it if in films, the "victims" become just as bad as the criminal. The acting is very good, and also the cinematography is very good! David Slade has quite a bit of potential, but in the future he should make a film with a better story. All together, this is a disappointment. The acting and cinematography and music are very good, but cannot save the film.
