This is just a film about stupid people with no common sense or any idea about how the law works. Find myself getting so angry that one she doesn't just walk out and two, that the manager is even more dumb. How anyone would not realise cops don't phone like this and people can't hold you because of a voice in a phone. Infuriating in the first 15 mins, trust me.

very very hard movie to watch how stupid can people really be? hard to believe...but it's a true story and has happen 70 times...i remember reading about it in newspapers in early 2000's...it happen here in New York City too. this movie gets my blood boiling..what an evil psychpath...and he doesn't get any jail time....nice justice system. people involved including the victim had i.q.s of an 8 year old child...even a 10 year old would know better. very very good movie and i agree with other reviewers...this should be a requisite viewing in every high school. i can understand why people would walk out of theaters and not finish the movie...it's a very hard watch and almost incredulous..but...it's true. i believe it's a very important movie and kudos to the people that put this movie together..may Stewart rot in hell.

This 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.

I've seen a lot of horror movies that are supposed to be scary and yet there aren't many that are as difficult to sit through as this. It was truly horrible - mainly because it's (almost completely) true (I checked online and apparently this really happened almost word for word in a McDonalds restaurant in Kentucky, USA).'Compliance' is basically about a prank call, where a man - pretending to be a police officer - phones a fast food restaurant, claiming one of the employees has stolen some money. What follows is psychological manipulation from him, as he gets the staff to make the employee's life more and more uncomfortable.Part of the problem with choosing to watch a film like this is that you'll find yourself (just like I did), constantly screaming at the characters on screen not to be so absolutely stupid. However, stupid they were in real life, so I guess the worst part about this is that people in real life obviously don't question authority.You won't enjoy this film - even if you like it (and I did in some ways). It's not a film that's meant to be enjoyed; it's there to show us just how easy it is to fool some people with minimal evidence to support their story. If you think that you can sit through an hour and a half of total - real life - torture of an innocent (if slightly naïve) girl then Compliance makes an interesting tale. It is a good film, but in a weird, unbelievably shocking kind of way.
