The only reason I watched this movie is Ray Winstone. What a remarkable man ! Once I got to know that this ia going to be an erotic thriller movie, I got ready for some bang-bang action from this hunky man. But, I got really disappointed when I found the Indian backdrop. No offense to M. Nagra though I liked her in Bend it like a Beckham but she's not suited for erotic type movies. I was really hoping highly explicit sex scenes and a nice ending but overall got disappointed. Anyways, Mr. Winstone is the best.

I watched Compulsion a few years ago and having got the chance to watch it again last night I must admit my opinion on it has changed from the first time I watched it. What I remembered as being a brilliant thriller was actually very slow & cringy. I remembered it being sexy but this time round I found myself watching Ray Winston from behind a cushion. The story did hold my attention and so I would recommend but just to warn anyone with a weak stomach you do see Ray Winston naked which ain't pretty. The story is far fetched but does give hope to over weight middle aged men.

Don't be fooled by the first 10 minutes, don't zap away – you are in for a surprisingly good psycho-thriller ride which keeps you guessing again and again – and you might be quite wrong! – and keeps giving the screw one more turn. Just don't ask for credibility. The script provides too little background on one of the leading characters – but then credibility is not what you necessarily are looking for in a psycho thriller made for TV. The story shows us the life of a wealthy British-Indian family. Daughter Anjika has just finished her studies in Cambridge and her father has selected an appropriate groom for her. But Anjika has a secret boyfriend, Alex – penniless, of course! – and doesn't want an arranged marriage. And there is the chauffeur, Flowers, who doesn't only drive the family members, but seems to be the keeper of everybody's secrets. He has been in love with Anjika for a long time….. It is difficult to say more or put in some criticism without giving too much away. The script is uneven and full of cracks, some of the dialog is trite, but you will be rewarded with great performances by Ray "Sexy Beast" Winstone and Parminder Nagra.

This is a very very very good thriller so please don't let you get fooled by the low rating! Watch this movie, because it is not at all the kind of story it initially seems to be. Anjika (Parminder Naga) finished her studies at the university together with her boyfriend Alex. Anjika is Indian but her wealthy family lives in Londen, but they don't know she has a boyfriend. Her parents now are arranging her marriage with the son of her father's business-partner. Anjika is perplex and refuses the marriage. But her father is persistent. But what initially seems to be a romantic chic flick, changes into a dark erotic thriller . . there is a totally unexpected twist in the story! So it becomes a highly erotic thriller, with the very beautiful Parminder Naga playing a character that evolves in a way no one would ever suspect. . ! . . there I've said more than enough . . . see it and you won't be disappointed!
