Much Better than its rating

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2002)

This movie should be in the top 20 of all time, the direction is excellent(as are all Kubrick movies). Mcdowell gives a performance that he will never be able to meet again. Kubrick enjoys doing that, just like D'Onofirio in Full Metal Jacket, he gave a performance which he will never meet, unfortunately, it was one of his first movies, well the same went for McDowell, if he were an accomplished actor he would have snagged an academy award.
