This week's film screening is COMPLIANCE written and directed by Craig Zobel.
At a fast food restaurant, the manager, Sandra, is having a bad day. Suddenly, she gets a phone call from a man claiming to be a police officer who has a complaint that one of her young female employees has stolen from a customer. At the orders of this authoritative sounding stranger, Sandra takes the apparent accused, Becky, to a back room to search her before she is picked up. Once there, the phone scammer manipulates the gullible personnel into participating in Becky's sexual humiliation that grows more twisted with every new sucker on the phone. Only when one final person has the conscience to revolt do they realize the crime they were tricked into, which the real police are hard pressed to solve.

I heard about this film
after reading a review on COMPLEX magazine online. After the review I was
totally intrigued at what this film would be about as it was based on real life
events. Watching the film and remembering the news stories when it hit I was amazed
at the gulibility and lack of concern from those in charge. I continued to grow
ever and ever more frustrated as it seemed no one was ever going to speak out
and say this was wrong. Furthermore to realize again that this was based on
real life events boggled my mind. That said, I really enjoyed the film because
of those annoying moments, and easily persuaded characters as they were the ones I was
yelling at the screen at. This film made me feel for the young girl and her
situation as well as for those who let it go so far. So for COMPLIANCE I give
it 4 Stars.
