But before she knows it she's mixing drinks at Jeff's place and stripping for an impromptu photo shoot. It's Jeff's lucky night. But Hayley isn't as innocent as she looks and the night takes a turn when she begins to impose a hard-hitting investigation on Jeff in an attempt to reveal his possibly scandalous past.

Reviewer Comments on Rating:

Hard Candy is a captivating and tastefully done movie. It address a topic that is controversial and difficult for many people without being graphic and yet still emotionally grabs the viewer. The cinematography was artistic, beautifully framed, and creates an element of suspense in the film. Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page were brilliant! Since the movie is quite dialogue based, their acting was really crucial to the film. If they hadn't performed so well, this movie would have been boring and I doubt I would have responded to the emotion of the situation. Overall, this film made it into my list of top films and I would recommend it.
