Rosamund Pike lends A-list heft to this off-kilter exploiter about a rape survivor who visits her assailant in prison, where he comes to believe that she holds a redemptive candle for him. Things are clearly not what they seem and you keep wondering exactly when this is going to turn into Hard Candy. Nick Nolte lends wounded-bear support as the father torn apart by his inability to protect his daughter, but Gone Girl Pike is more than a match for any man and director Fouad Mikati taps into her icy zeal with aplomb.
