Negative Positive
Title: Hard to Swallow
Review: I honestly went into this movie with an open mind. i usually enjoy films that aren't exactly mainstream, so i was prepared for something a bit different. What i came away with, was a feeling that i had just wasted over 90mins of my life. "Hard Candy" is disturbing. and not in the 'makes you think' kind of way. The main purpose of this film it seems, is to try and preach vigilante justice. Making the idea of it, almost romantic and appealing. The only reason i sat through the entire film, was in the hopes that a logical explaination of the motivation behind why this person does what they do during the course of this film , would appear. what i got out of it instead...was a generalization; an attitude of "people like that need to be punished, and i'm the one to do it." it was annoying that the film makers did such a good job of making this about a "villian" and a "good guy"...when in fact, both the main characters were dark, frightening and twisted, and shouldn't have been glorified.
Is the review positive or negative?
