Review of Compulsion (2008) by Daniel P — 08 Oct 2008
This movie was kind of like a train wreck... a perverted train wreck with unicorns.
I really didn't know who to root for because everyone had the potential to, (and ultimately displayed), both a dark side and something slightly resembling a moral core. I think that's why I'm pretty sure that I loved this movie. There is definitely something dirty and wrong about it, and that's the draw. After you see what the characters do to, and for, each other - there are really no surprises. So, when you are left there blinking at a love/rape/stabbing scene you have no choice but to dig it completely and move on.
Sometimes when I refuse to sleep at night I am rewarded for my stubbornness in the form of a film that is a love story on heavy heavy medication, or, I am just a total perv with sleep deprivation. Either way this movie made my night.
