Kubrick's Artistry At Work...

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 1999)

One of the most horrific, but gripping films ever made. Kubrick injects enough sardonic humor and grisly menace to make a viewer go in five different directions by the film's end. McDowell is ingenious in his performance, as is Patrick Magee. Say what will you about Mr. Kubrick, but this film is artistry at its best.
