Adventures of a sadistic predator in merry old England

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2005)

This is one of my all time favorite movies.The first time I saw this film I couldn't grasp all the Shakespearian language,but I still was fascinated.The opening scene with little Alex and his pals chilling out and a local lounge getting ready for a night of ultra-violence is one of the most powerful scenes I have witnessed.The direction & the sound along with sinister look on Alex's(Malcom McDowell) face had me mesmerized & I went along for a two hour journey. The story basically tells you the story of a young dude named Alex who is as sick & depraved as any serial killer produced on this planet.There is a consequence for his actions which is strange & compelling rolled up in one. There are some brutal rape scenes along with violence that might not be for everybody,but you'll probably be glued to your seat. Malcom McDowell is brilliant in this movie,but outside of Gangster No.1, he has lite up some stink bombs in movies like Tank Girl,Milk Money,& Class of 99 but no one's perfect.The prison guard with the Hitler mustache stuck out for me. The only drawback might be getting use to the language of the film along with some bad settings since the movie is suppose to be in the future but a lot of movies have great settings and no plot.Great movie
