Just saw "Compliance" and I must say that it left me in wonder and disturbed to see how strange and twisted things like this prank hoax continue to happen in America. It's clear that we American's will go to any measures when we hear from an authority figure even if it's fake as this picture showed. Based on true events director Craig Zobel does a fine job bringing this real life uneasy drama to the screen and it's rightfully titled "Compliance". It all took place in the Midwest and this story is down right chilling, as one crazy day would change the lives of everyone involved. On a fast and hectic night at a Ohio fast food restaurant tough and demanding manager Sandra(Ann Dowd)gets a phone call from an apparent police officer saying that one of her employees a pretty and sexy young blonde named Becky("Don't Trust the B in Apt. 23's" Dreama Walker)has stolen money from a customer. Sadly duped that she's doing right even without hard proof Sandra listens to every demand of the crazed caller as she starts a step by step investigation of Becky. Chilling and humiliating this conversation becomes a sick twisted cat and mouse game which even crosses the bridge of a strip and body cavity search really it can be classified as a display of sexual deviance from the fake police officer and a real sexual embarrassment for young Becky. Overall this is a powerful and interesting disturbing film that shows crazy wicked things happen to innocent people and abuse of power and false authority is all to common, "Compliance" is one film to watch and remember.
score 8/10
