To 'Compliance' director, it comes down to trust

Writer-director Craig Zobel's feature film debut, the 2007 road comedy "Great World of Sound," followed two unscrupulous record-company representatives on a talent search that leads to a moral reckoning. Five years later Zobel has given us another tale of deceit, this one a lot harsher: "Compliance," based on the squirmy true story (dozens of incidents, in fact) of a prank caller masquerading as a police officer.
