Stop worshiping this film and open your eyes.

Rating: 2/10 (13 November 2009)

The sheeple who pray an the feet of Kubrick don't so much appreciate this film but treat it like some kind of mystical prophecy.
They seem to be blinded by mutual admiration at their insight for seeing this films "divine" inner message.
This film is not the great and wonderful revelation they pretend it to be, it is nothing more than a mediocre 'B' movie about a sickeningly violent thug who enjoys nothing more than torturing people to death.
I must agree that this film has an interesting idea and with a far better writer it might have been entertaining.
If you watch this be careful not to join the masses that delude themselves about this film, they hold themselves as intellectuals for spouting the mantra that this movie has deep hidden messages that are there if you look hard enough.
Don't let the armchair psychologists fool you, this film is below average at best and that's giving it more credit than I think it deserves.
1/10
