The funniest crime film to be shot in Malta since The Final Justice with Joe Don Baker. Look for it on MST3K.

Rated: 1.5/4

Compulsion is an obvious twist at the service of hollow provocation.

Eye for Film

There’s an action sequence towards the end which is among the director’s best.

Casey's Movie Mania

Neil Marshall's foray into the lurid giallo-style erotic thriller is mostly a missed opportunity.

Compulsion (2025) is not exactly groundbreaking. Marshall tells an entertaining story, and has enough talent behind the camera to keep it visually compelling, but unfortunately his foray into sleazy slashers leaves a bit to be desired.

Cambridge Day

The dialogue is largely stilted, and many of the plot elements feel crammed in or tacked on. It’s a light erotic tease that doesn’t compel.

All Neil Marshall seems to do these days is make Z-level movies with this actress who looks like a hybrid between a washed out old pornstar and a desperate housewives tv show character. He's made 4 movies in a row with her as the lead so far, all of them very bad. Uwe Boll-level bad. I think she's his wife or partner, so the creative abilities he initially had as a director are not in control anymore.

A Brutally Delicious Fun Fest of A Film... A Must See Film For Fans of Homicidal Intrigue... So much fun watching this unfold and evolve, characters were a joy to see in action. It didn't feel forced as many of the movies of late, I genuinely felt connected to each of them as they pushed us Into each new piece of the story created here. A must see for fans of mystery and intrigue...

Ama Sieklucka and Charlotte Kirk played their roles brilliantly, Ama as a mysterious lesbian and Charlotte as a confident, beautiful, and seductive thief. They portrayed a relationship full of passion and desire. I recommend this film to every adult.

Extremely dull..I imagine this movie would only be "sexy" for a couple of 10th graders with nothing else to do. The acting does provide a few laughs.
