STEALING CANDY

Cinemavixion Review

Mark L. Lester's 'Stealing Candy' plunges viewers into a grim narrative of desperation and exploitation. The film chronicles the audacious scheme of three ex-convicts who kidnap a renowned actress, forcing her into a live, internet-broadcast sex tape. Daniel Baldwin and Coolio anchor the cast, portraying the morally bankrupt perpetrators whose greed quickly breeds internal conflict. While the premise is undeniably provocative, the film grapples with themes of power, consent, and the burgeoning digital age's darker potentials. The gritty execution and unsettling subject matter make 'Stealing Candy' a challenging, yet thought-provoking, exploration of criminal enterprise and the commodification of intimacy in the early days of widespread internet access.
