Action Biography Crime Drama Thriller

6.4 / 10

At a fast food restaurant, the manager, Sandra, is having a bad day. Suddenly, she gets a phone call from a man claiming to be a police officer who has a complaint that one of her young female employees has stolen from a customer. At the orders of this authoritative sounding stranger, Sandra takes the apparent accused, Becky, to a back room to search her before she is picked up. Once there, the phone scammer manipulates the gullible personnel into participating in Becky's sexual humiliation that grows more twisted with every new sucker on the phone. Only when one final person has the conscience to revolt do they realize the crime they were tricked into, which the real police are hard pressed to solve.

Vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Dieses war wirklich sehr interessant, weil ich mich mit demselben Themenbereich im STudium beschäftige. Im Rahmen der Master Arbeit habe ich einen Online Fragebogen erstellt https://www.soscisurvey.de/CMS/, mit deren Hilfe ich die Möglichkeiten von Compliance/Regelkonformitäts- Maßnahmen und deren Effizienz thematisieren möchte. Über eine Teilnahme (10-15 Minuten) würde ich mich sehr freuen. Das wäre wirklich eine große Hilfe! glg - @Sunday, March 18, 2018 7:36 PM

Lots of people on this thread talking about how stupid the people were, always question authority etc. But sadly this is a well known behavioural trait we ALL have for compliance and it's got nothing to do with logic or IQ. What we think we would do is absolutely not how we would behave. Scary I know. I read about this case in the book 'You Are Not So Smart' << definitely worth reading! It might look unbelievable when compressed in this trailer but it was hours of psychology at work here. - @Monday, March 25, 2013 5:26 AM

See those buttons at the right-hand side of the bottom of the video player? Can you see the left-most one that looks like a speech bubble? The one that says "Annotations" when you move the mouse pointer over it? Click it. - @Tuesday, March 19, 2013 2:29 PM

No... you should be mad at both of them. I hate to say it, but someone who believes some anonymous authority over a phone is too stupid to be in a position to manage anybody... even in a fast food joint. This is one of those issues where everyone involved needs to be beaten with a hose. - @Friday, August 17, 2012 11:33 PM

well no duh, its based off a true event. With a movie like this its not so much of the over all facts that make the movie, its the tiny details and the way its told that will make this a good movie or terrible. - @Friday, August 17, 2012 10:40 PM

Looks good, but citizens do have the right to ask for police to have proof of authority. Also, someone with common sense must know that a cop wouldn't tell someone to do things over the phone. Unless... that sets the movie up for a twist. - @Wednesday, July 11, 2012 7:57 AM

Ah, come on! It's not my native tongue. And why ignorant? People blindly obeying authorities - THAT IS DUMB The theme is good, the actors probably even better, but I'd get MAD AS FUCK watching these people. btw I'm sorry for the "ignorant fuck"! Sometimes I get MAD AS FUCK and overreact a little ;) - @Friday, July 6, 2012 12:15 PM
