Hard Candy

This controversial indie film about a possible pedophile being tortured by a young teenage girl he was flirting with online has some incredible moments. Ellen Page (the cutie who could run through walls in X3) does a great job as the smart and resourceful teenage Punisher doing her darndest to make Patrick Wilson confess to his disgusting past and seek atonement. It's a two-character movie and kept our interest even though it falls apart halfway through and then completely at the end. It gets preachy and there's just way too many plot holes and unanswered questions. The upside is it'll get you talking afterwards and it's impossible to not be hypnotized by Page 'cause she's just so adorable…and over 18 in real life.
