Hard Candy

Saw this a cou­ple of nights ago. Pretty hard to watch if you are a guy. I’ve heard peo­ple state that this sti­mu­la­tes all sorts of deba­tes about pae­dophi­lia and vigi­lan­tism; per­so­nally it seems like this extreme set­ting is merely jus­ti­fi­ca­tion for a graphic tor­ture film (so is the Lion’s gate way) invol­ving some crazy bitch attac­king some pro­po­sed kiddie-lover. The true menace to society would be illus­tra­ted in a sic­ke­ning role rever­sal, honestly I believe this film achie­ves little more than some light (albeit gritty) enter­tain­ment. Plus I pre­fer soft gums.
