The acting was top notch. I must say, the performance of some (Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page) of the five listed actors was phenomenal. On the other hand, if you want a plausible plot, look elsewhere. I suppose with a bit more research the writer, Brian Wilson, could have tightened up the major inconsistencies that turned an interesting premise into a movie that we tried so hard to like but could not except for the acting.
The idea of a 14-year-old pedophile stalker unleashing havoc upon a 32 year old "short eyes" who happens to be a photographer could be somewhat appealing. However, maybe this is due to both main characters are sick individuals, the idea of common sense self preservation skills appear to be lacking. In addition, the neighbor (Sandra Oh) makes an appearance in the movie that goes absolutely nowhere, her role was completely unnecessary and added nothing to the movie.
Basically, after a fair amount of creepy pedophile meets Lolita in heat kind of activity the movie starts going downhill in an ever-increasing rate. The psychological drama becomes stranger as the characters develop. The kid toucher (Jeff) pulls as many verbal tricks of manipulation that backfire under the great amusement of the psychopathic little nymph. The little girl (Hayley) is ripe with sarcasm and the occasional game being played in return.
The whole thing falls apart if anyone cares to think about what they are watching. The character development leaves too many unanswered questions. The characters need much more explanation than what the movie ends with. I believe this could have been done without dumbing anything down.
As it is, the movie was reasonably shot. The cliché CCD camera effects do not add anything. The premise is unbelievable due to the number flaws of the plot. The only hope for this movie is that the subject matter of the plot is "shocking" enough to get a little attention. However, anyone who wants a plausible and solid plot, go watch something else and hope that this movie is rewritten.

Yo... Come on now...
8 mile's a flick bout shae whitee in da hood, Creative mix mastering vocals are understood,
Poetry slams to music ain't really nothing new, Paying $8 buck a ticket could make you wanna stew,
Rent it if you have to, don't expect nuttin fresh, I'd enjoyed it a lot more to see someone slamming John Tesh.
Yawn... White boy in trailer park with alcoholic mom does slams in da hood. Shae whitee has some brother friends, a dumb friend and racial hostility. Has ex-girlfriend for no appearant reason. Meets new girl with stupid hairdo. New girl sleeps with everything. Gangs are in there to attempt to make some sort of story other than "Trailer Trash Goes to Recording Studio".
Will the real Slim Shadee please stand up? (and go back to your trailer...)

Yo! Da ghetto boyz r in da hood. Deyz in da houze. Deyz everywhere...
Ok, we all (more or less) know about Ronand Regan and company all having some involvement in selling drugs for the Contra Rebels. Yes this was the biggest case of political corruptness the United States has ever seen and will ever see for some time. Of course since all the media for the most part are owned by global corporations that have no interest in doing stories on a subject matter that protrays them in a bad light, we heard very little about it (unless you went to independant news sources like the Guardian).
As awful a crime as this was (govt essentially brokering deals to bring in drugs to the urban areas for sales to raise funds for military projects abroad), this movie was worse. I won't go into the 3 digit budget this film commands. I won't go into the fine cinematography or the well written and scripted plot. It sucked, plain and simple. If you have nothing better than assisted breathing to do, then this fime might be on your, "i'll get around to it someday but I am in no rush" list.
A couple of urban boyz (when not on a well kept tennis court) decided to do something better in life other than stealing cars for a living. So they sold drugs. Sold more drugs, read poorly scripted curse words, drove a nonfunctioning prop car around and met the cast of Super Fly and I am Gonna Git You Sucka.
If life is like this in the urban world (I haven't seen anything like this in LA, Baltimore, DC or NYC) then basically the boyz need to get up of their asses and stop being in movies like this. Selling drugs looks like a good idea compared to being in a movie like this. In addition most of the people inthis movie used fake names out of embarrassment I suspect. Alan Smithee even used a fake name for this film.
