Tries Too Hard
I hate this movie. I think Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was much better. I even love Malcolm McDowell and think he is a great actor, but that wasn't enough to redeem this movie. I am dating myself here, but when this movie first came out I think people were into it for shock value alone. I think this movie tries too hard to be avant-garde. There was nothing that made me care anything about what happened to any of the characters in the film, either the perpetrators of violence or their victims. Watching this movie is like banging your head into a wall over and over.
