Hard Candy (2006)

Okay, so maybe i shouldn't have seen this one with a high level of expectations. I really liked the movie, for all the story and stuff - and i specially enjoyed the fact that it doesn't have too many actors - they were just two and the occasional presence of others. Yet i was disappointed, since i have heard of a rather famous torture scene and i was expecting quite a lot more from it.

The thing that impressed me the most was indeed the power of persuasion. I mean, the little girl fucked his mind in such a way that he ended up killing himself - just like she wanted ! By the way, this was the first movie i saw with Ellen Page (haven't even saw Juno yet), and i was amazed with her performance.

Overall, a rather good movie.
