Perfectly adorable
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

View MoreThis is a great film. The simplicity and the wonderfully, stupid submission of the main characters is excellent. This film will surely press your buttons and you will be making comments to your television. It is said to be based on true events and with tons of stupid people out there, I believe it. Compliance is a testament to how blindly loyal some folks are to authority. That they will do anything. Including impeding their own morals and values based on a convincing, silver-tongued, smooth talker. You will feel embarrassed and uneasy while watching this movie and for that, the director gets an A+. He portrayed the vision correctly. Which made you feel what the young woman was going through. Like I said. This movie is simple and on a low budget, but the acting is great and complimentary. Ann Dowd played the store manager role superbly. She was believable and came across as a naive, do-gooder with an acceptance issue. Becky was played by Dreama Walker and as an up and coming actress, she did quite well. Compliance is a movie that I watched multiple times and would recommend to most. It's a film that touches on some gray areas and raises the blood pressure due to the total stupidity of some people's belief in all authority.
View MoreThis movies is the dumbest movies I have ever seen in my life. There is a fine line between being stupid and down right missing a brain. I'm not quiet sure why or who in the world is like that. There wear many moments where I almost Wanted to turn off the movie of how frustrated I was. Poorly made movie, poor acting, it's beyond explaining how naive people can be in the world. It almost reminded me of the Elizabeth Smart Case. for those who know about that unfortunate incident. Do not waste your time with this movie !!!!! I definitely would not recommend anyone with any common sense to watch this movie as it does get quiet frustrating.
View MoreIf it weren't for the compulsory 1 star rating then I would happily be giving this film 0 stars. Firstly the plot is an absolute disgrace with absolutely no plausibility, especially the scene where the protagonist is required to be spanked as part of a police investigation. Frustration would be an understatement to describe how I felt whilst watching this 'film', a film certainly shouldn't evoke emotions that want the individual to smash the TV whilst watching it. Other than this and the sub standard acting that accompanied it the film seems determined to portray American's as mindless idiots, unable to use their rational facilities. In fact I think this film resemble more of a mockumentary than a film that merits a average 6.4 rating. Quite frankly Craig Zobel should be ashamed of himself as a director and this monstrosity he has created. Ps I am aware of the appalling use of grammar in this review but I feel my frustration at the movie has driven to sacrifice a proper use of the English language. Your disgustedly Dr Emmanuel rent
