What happens when the predator becomes the prey? In Hard Candy, we watch a 30-something photographer, Jeff lure Hayley, a precocious honor-roll 14 year old from an internet chat room to a meeting at a local coffee shop and then to his home. Unfortunately for Jeff, Hayley already knows what she's getting into.
There are certain ingredients necessary for a good thriller. An interesting plot, some choice baddies and a little action thrown in for spice. Sadly The International provides only some small bites of each, failing to deliver a full serving of any.
Imagine having the ability to imprint not only skills and knowledge but detailed personality traits into apparently willing humans. This is the basis of the Dollhouse, a shadowy organization that rents out its Dolls (called "actives" when they are imprinted) to wealthy, discrete clients. Sometimes things go well, but since this is an action/thriller show, they usually don't.
