The future has never been so disturbing!

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2006)

Stanley Kubrik has put up a fine sci-fi thriller about the future where total chaos rules. Even if the world doesn't look like the Apocalypse, the society running with vermin make it look that way. Especially where the The Droogs live. In a futuristic England, these degenerates run around causing havoc and mayhem. They kill, rape, and brutalize anyone who got in their way. Alex(Malcom McDowell) leads the way of these ruthless gangs. He later shows his brutality on his own friends when he hits one of them in the groin with his cane, and hidden inside is a knife that cuts the other's hand. Knowing that he tends to himself at home, out in the open, he's an bomb ready to explode. In one scene, the attacks the woman, his friends leave him behind by breaking his nose with a milk bottle. While Alex is doing some time, I liked the scene were he was being reformed in a sadistic way, where he literally goes out of his mind. Hoping that he is "cured" he goes back to society, where his "friends" are in law-enforcement. After that suicide attempt, the country gives him the clemency, to me that was not a good idea, after he said, "I was 'cured' all right!" That means he can revert to his ways again, if he did that, they won't be so easy next time. A very good but chilling movie, highly intense, and very disturbing scenes. This movie is not for the weak! Rating 5 stars!
