Violent? Yes. Sick? Not in any way. Brilliant? Extremely.

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2003)

I know there are people who hate this movie for it's disturbing violence and rape sequences. But there are also people who know that a huge amount of violence doesn't have to mean a movie is bad. Let me tell you a little secret: violence and rapings actually exist. Kubrick didn't just make them up to make a movie. They are actually there. Therefor, this movie is NOT sick, it SHOWS sick things. Just to show the viewer how sick they are. Kubrick could have chosen not to show all the violence, but then how could he have made the movie as satirical as he did? In my opinion, this is a brilliant satire on society, a satire on human violence AND the way the goverment tries to control it. It's the kind of movie that makes you think. Plus Kubrick has a great eye and uses it, and Malcom McDowell's acting is plain wonderful.
