I've never ever seen such an entertaining film.

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2005)

When I first saw clips of this film on a TV show, there was something that automatically intrigued me, although from the content of what I saw, I was somewhat apprehensive about watching it. But I am so very glad I did. This film is a true reflection on modern society, and the kind of corruption that goes on in it. Malcom McDowell plays the role brilliantly, I don't think the film could have been nearly as convincing had he not been playing the role of Alex. This film is quite warped, but it makes you look at modern life in a totally different way. Some of the violence can be disturbing at times, but I think this really adds to the atmosphere that Kubrick was trying to create. It took me watching the film quite a few times to properly understand the ending of the film, but each time I did, I fell in love more and more with it. The effects are simple in it, but it all adds to the atmosphere, and all the music used in it was superbly chosen, it all really adds tension and a sense of drama and mystery.
This film doesn't mess about, its message is very clear and direct, and I think there is where the genius of Kubrick lies. It's probably not a film for everyones taste, but if you look past the violence on the surface, it makes the meaning of the plot even more outstanding.
There isn't much else to say, other than watch it, and make your own mind up about it!
