A Fruity Wind-Up If Ever There Was!

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2003)

They certainly don't make them like this anymore.On release this was a big commercial production from a big studio. Must have been fun down at the local Odeon back then.Seen this for the first time recently wondering if it deserved all the raves , controversy etc.Firstly Malcolm McDowell is fantastic as Alex and it is a real shame he is best known these days for hamming it up in Hollywood. I must admit I found most of the characters in the movie quite scary. The story is clever and mostly thought-provoking. However, it is not a comfortable view and still powerful and shocking despite its age. If for nothing else it is worth seeing for Alex's rendition of Singing In The Rain. You will never forget that!
