Alain E @AlainE Oct 1 Solid film but not a masterpiece. In addition to the main male characters, I think the girl played by Diane Varsi, was well done. See more Luca D @JoeCamel7 Apr 17 I like how the cast wasn't all star studded. The cast was picked precisely for each role and they fit their parts perfectly. Naturally Orson Welles portrays himself as the hero, but Dean Stockwell takes the cake for this performance. Dean Stockwell seems like he was never dealt well written movies besides this sole example. I can't recommend this movie enough as it is very relevant in today's world especially regarding the case of Luigi Mangione. Conservative Christians claim to be peaceful but the second someone is killed they smell blood in the water like sharks. I absolutely love when Orsen Welles turned to the courtroom crowd and yells "kill, kill, kill!" And then goes on to describe how the less we punish criminals with violence, the less crimes they commit, letting them suffer from their own problems instead of instigating their resentment towards others. See more Martin B Mar 10 Not a fan. Looked like a custom designed award picture for Welles to take center stage and wow us with his acting skills. Accepted punishment of the time was death and that's what they should have gotten. Not insane simply spoiled, entitled fiercely intelligent youth that played God with no remorse for any of it.

Brilliant, but maybe not if you suffer from high blood pressure See more Isa B 10/31/2024 A terrific period piece based on real life events from the 1920s. Dean Stockwell gives an outstanding performance in this film. It is especially impressive considering he was in his early 20s in this film. Orson Welles also gives an awesome performance, which was nothing new for him at this point in his career. The closing argument delivered by Welles was perfection. He was such a tremendous and often underrated actor. This is a well written, well directed motion picture. I absolutely love the shot when you see them in the reflection of the glasses. That was a nice touch. It indicated the "I got you" moment. Compulsion is a great film that I highly recommend. 94/100 See more harwee h 03/30/2024 Solid thriller and with a solid cast.
