Thought i'd give a review of a movie i just saw!
Let me be first to say.......great movie! Loved every second of it, and I actually don't think I took my eyes off it for a second. I thought the acting from Ellen Page was a particular highlight and I see her going places (I'm no expert of course). I think there is also an underlying layer/story that I didn't quite understand in the first viewing, so I'll have to go back to it to fully understand all the characters and the preceeding events that were referred to.
There are no sexual scenes, and the movie doesn't need to resort to car chases and bare breasted strippers to entertain; some parts did have me cringing in my seat though! But this one is all about psychology.
Definitely one of the better movies to come out this year. I don't want to say too much at this stage in case I spoil it for people. It will leave you with some questions though

| Plot outline (IMDB): For three weeks, 14-year-old Hayley Stark has been chatting on-line with 'Lensmaster320', a 32-year old fashion photographer, named Jeff.. The two agree to meet at a coffee shop called Nighthawk. They hit it off, despite the massive age difference. Hayley appears to flirt with Jeff, and Jeff generally restrains himself, even admitting that he must wait 4-years until he can be with her. But his reservations are apparently not enough to decline when Hayley all but invites herself over to his house. Once at the house, manipulation becomes the name of the game, and the pedophile seems to be on the non-traditional side of it. |
