The movie is a classic and great. Stanley Kubrick created an amazing movie from a great book. Malcolm McDowell became well known for this role and a movie about futuristic street gangs had a resounding effect on Great Britain where Stanley Kubrick had the movie withdrawn after death threats. Malcolm McDowell portrays a psychopathic hoodlum who rapes, beats and eventually murders vulnerable citizens. After 2 years in prison, he agrees to a scientific study intended to steer him from violent tendencies and make him a productive citizen. Instead it causes him to become a helpless victim of violence himself. The story is never as momentous as the quality of the filmmaking and direction. This film is truly Stanley Kubrick.
