5 out of 10 Superb Thriller
Diarmaid from Wicklow, 04 Dec 2007
excellent acting and intense storyline, the less you know about the storyline the better, although its brilliance is not based on convoluted twists. This is a brilliant film with superb performances from the two main actors, while the action and dialogue essentially lead to the feeling that you're watching a play, there is a distinct visual flair and style brought to this film by the director.

1.5 out of 10 OK but a bit unbelievable
Maggie from Mayo, 09 Jan 2009
Not a bad film if you want some brainless entertainment for a while. The acting was variable, sometimes believable sometimes a real ham job. All in all it seems aimed at angry and powerless teens to make them feel like they have some say in matters. But I think they could be set a better example than this "revenge-porn" movie.

4.5 out of 10 Whoa!
Ciaran from Dublin, 23 Apr 2007
Now here's a good one! Anyone squeamish should avoid but for people who like their thrillers then this is certainly one to rent. Don't let anyone give the plot away. Two excellent performances help the tidy plot move nicely and the script is excellently written. Just check it out and enjoy!

4 out of 10 Hard Candy
Anthony from Kilkenny, 14 Aug 2009
Great thriller, wonderful performance from Ellen Page. good tight direction and exquisite cinematography. This is a good story , well acted by all the cast and even though it all takes place in more or less one location, it holds your attention to the very end. I loved it.

1 out of 10 Dissappointed
David from Dublin, 25 Apr 2007
I found this one to be below par generally. The subject matter is a little raw in terms of the paedophilic angles but the overall delivery was frankly a bit boring. It could have been exceptionally good but fell during the middle section for me.

What's it about....
A smart and charming teenage girl, Hayley, probably shouldn't be going to a local coffee shop to meet Jeff, a 30 something fashion photographer she met on the internet. But before she knows it she's mixing drinks at Jeff's place and stripping off 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...
