*** 1/2 out of ****

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2002)

Bizarre and violent, Kubrick's adaptation of the Burgess novel isn't for all tastes. While it has tamed, even to the point that it feels like some of it was done only for shock value at the time, it still retains some of its power. Kubrick provides a brilliantly disturbing look at our society in the future, with a superb performance by Malcom McDowell. One of the truly unique pieces of work the genre has produced.
