I found this movie on Netflix, with only two stars so I didn't have high expectations. But I liked the actors so I gave it a chance. I can see why a lot of people don't get this film. It's dark and twisted, and some parts you have to use your imagination about what happened. It doesn't spoon feed you anything. It also starts out quite funny, so audiences might be surprised when it gets serious. Heather Graham is surprisingly good in this movie. I've really only known her for playing air headed characters, and at first that's what you get. But she has more range than I originally gave her credit for as the somewhat unbalanced Amy. Carrie-Anne Moss is brilliant as the tortured Saffron. My heart ached for her by the end. The acting really is superb, and the storyline is not your usual fare. But well worth a watch.

Something you should think Heather Graham would be able to do. And I'm talking acting wise not her character and what happens (or not) in the story. But unfortunately she lacks something. A secret "ingredient" (no pun intended) maybe? And even Ms. Matrix herself can not save this entirely (though she has the better role and makes more of it, than the lead we are given).The story itself is pretty decent with some nice twists and turns. But most of some "what the heck" moments go by without making a big impact (even though they should be able to). It's a mixture of direction, setting and not really having an impact at the right time (or with the right "weapons", again no pun intended). While this has some flavor to it, it will rather leave you with a sour taste ...

Compulsion? Nope.Dull, dreary, overacted, pointless drivel.Stars Heather Graham and her cleavage. Also stars Carrie-Anne Moss and her misery.Co-stars Kevin Dillon doing hammy Kevin Dillon stuff and Joe Mantegna looking uncomfortable.Some other people are in it.Red corridor, lots of cooking. Supposed to be sexy, thrilling, dramatic and macabre. Fails on all counts.A little over halfway through its 88 minute running time I realised that, actually, I DO have the will to live, and left.It promised Compulsion, I'd have accepted revulsion. Settled for expulsion! You have been warned.For more reviews from The Squiss, subscribe to my blog and like the Facebook page.

actor and actress exaggerating every single line and facial expression the plot is so predictable and majority of the scenes are so 'UN-NATURAL' High-School Play would be better than this. the 'Matrix' lady really seemed to try in a given roll in this ridiculous clip but... she is just human. words just can not describe how awful this was even though i skipped through the scenes after 40 min. If the directors, producers or actors, actress somehow got a compliment, forget it. and keep that person as far as you can from you for your own careers sakes, because they are just saying it to flatter you. if you want to be trolled this is the movie i recommend you. I want a refund. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A MAN, WATCH IT WHEN YOU WANT A NEW TV.
