I was thinking of a screenplay idea I had in mind and it's kinda similar to Hard Candy, but meets Die Hard. Now the story I have in my mind is a lot better than one would think when you hear those two combined, but would audiences accept those types of genre's crossing? Hard Candy, but with more shootouts and elaborate action and chase scenes, if the plot worked for it...
Who wants to see a movie like this?

I don’t understand…
You have a paedophile, planning on abusing a young girl, but instead of her drugging and torturing him, they end up running around, shooting at each other and blowing stuff up? I don’t get it?
Who wants to see a movie like this? Probably not me.

We both broke our vow.
He's a force. A primeval energy predating creation.And he can't be stopped!!
That's certainly one way to put it.
You like Hard Candy, Die Hard and according to your profile - 'The Truman Show.'
Why don't you put all the genres together and call it something like "Die Candy Truman" or "Show how hard you can die, Candy."
Or you could throw in a bit of a couple of your favourite directors (again, according to your profile) - Paul Greengrass and Alfred Hitchcock which would be something along the lines of...
"The Truman Dies hard on Candy through a Rear Window Supremacy" or "Die Candy Vertigo, it's too Hard to be an assassin who has forgotten his identity while being filmed in a giant ball in a faux-reality television environment."
I think the last two titles have merit and you should start shooting them immediately.
This sounds like a late 70s early 80s crappy horror film. And I really, really want to see it! Double bill with "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things", perhaps?
Trapped in a down town Saskatchewan hi-rise tower full of pedophiles,
to save her budding true love lesbian friend,
a little girl runs amok pretending to cut the balls off of the "bad men" one by one*.
It's...
DIE HARD CANDY!
I've got a frozen "P" for you mister, right... HERE!
* "Is that cutting both the balls off from the men one at a time or cutting the actual balls off one at a time"?

I'd have Samuel L Jackson playing the lead role in a wig.
I reckon this would be a hit.

Well there are a lot of dark action movies not meant to be in the fun popcorn genre. Blood Diamond perhaps is an example. The sex victim will not be underage like in Hard Candy though and she will know how to use guns and it will be explained and all.
This will be a serious psychological action thriller set in a semi-realistic world though, and not a grindhouse type film. It sounds dumb when I explain the premise, but what if it was in a script that made it all work well? For example let's say it's a woman being sexually assaulted in the army, and it turns into a gun battle since there a lot of guns nearby on the base. That's one example of how genre mixing can work in this case.
