Of the three [films made about this crime], Compulsion is arguably the best, as it sticks closest to the facts of the case.

The film is compelling while Strauss and Judd have their liberty, but once the net begins to close in things go unexpectedly flat, and the court case itself is something of an anti-climax.

There is very little that is zippy or overdone about Compulsion. Outside of the pulped-up title sequence, the film is evenly paced and more about the facts than the melodrama
-1
It's a caricature, and Artie and Judd are caricatures of Leopold and Loeb, though effectively played.
