Fourteen year old Hayley Stark (Ellen Page) meets photographer Jeff Kohlver (Patrick Wilson) at a coffee shop after some time chatting online. She's flirtatious and he takes her home. She makes them drinks and Jeff tries to get her to pose for him. Jeff has been drugged and passes out. He's tied up as Hayley accuses him of being a pedophile. She finds pictures of missing girl Donna Mauer. Judy Tokuda (Sandra Oh) is the next door neighbor.
This is a disturbing movie. It's creepy at the beginning and then it flips the script on the audience. Page and Wilson are essentially in a two person play. Page is very engaging and Wilson is great. The middle is stretched out a little with the exception of the insane castration scene. Wilson really earns his pay. There is a need for a ticking clock to heighten the tension. Maybe a maid is scheduled to come. The tension isn't at its highest without the structure. This is an unique crazy memorable movie.
