Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2008)

I had been curious about this film because it had attained so much critical acclaim and because I wanted to see if it matched up to its reputation.
I was instantly captivated by the witty writing of this movie. The dialogue throughout the story is extremely riveting as it utilized chiaroscuro to mix the light and frivolous with the dark and twisted.
Alex's character is certainly an ambiguous figure as one has a hard time not liking him by the end of the movie despite his obscurely twisted motives. He conveyed a nightmare of a youth whose intentions were anything but moral. Without any sense of righteousness, Alex epitomizes the horrors of savage youth. He is every parent's worst nightmare, yet he manages to intrigue every sense in viewing of this film.
This was an extremely powerful movie. I will have to watch it at least two more times before I grasp all the minute details that contribute to the message. See this movie you and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
