Compliance is a simple showcase of the psychological effect people with authority have on certain people. And how it is used and abused in this case. A very interesting subject matter, but the movie, is the opposite.
This is slow, tethering on boring. There's nothing thrilling about this, at most its a drama about abuse. The first 30 or so minutes of the movie are really promising. But the directing and acting really lets this movie down. Most of the stuff you'll be watching is people thinking ''oh no I can't do that'' and then doing it.
Now yes, most of what you see is based on real events that actually happened and that's the disturbing part. But to make a movie out of it and not a documentary of sorts asks for a different perspective or feeling. And this movie failed at that. It seems like a weak attempt at a controversial subject.
This movie, especially nowadays is really hard to watch, and believe, that these people could've been THAT gullible is unfathomable.
