Synopsis

In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?

Wordiezett So much average
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
cinephile-27690 Critics don't always say the right thing. Roger Ebert gave it 2/4 stars and yet it has a 8.3 here and it got nominated for Best Picture. I saw this and felt uneasy for a lot of it. The movie focuses on a man who rapes women for pleasure. There are numerous nude scenes and therefore it earned an X rating upon original release. But the movie makes you think about morality and therefore has importance. My only real problem is that I could not hear it well and I needed to use subtitles-but maybe that's just me. Mature audiences should check this movie out.
irinamariavrabie As a sociologist, I had to review this movie for a final project, from the perspective of sociology concepts. Once I had this type of "social lenses" on, this movie was so disturbing for me that I couldn't sleep the night I saw it. I've watched it several times, in order to finish my project and I was speechless every single time. This movie is about the limits (or the lack of them) of humankind and I strongly advise you to watch this movie with an open mind. :)
hunterryanbelkin The dark humor, sharp imagery, and brilliant framing and atmospheric lighting make this one of Kurbick's best and strangest pieces of art. No matter how strange it is, it's without a doubt a masterpiece.
teodorodontosaurus A masterpiece of a movie that contains one of the best introduction scenes in movie history and also one of the best ending scenes in movie history. The satirical content is obvious. The soundtrack is also a killer... especially the electronic synthetic music parts! Isn't that the darkest piece of music you've ever heard in a dystopian movie? Those synths sound so haunting and the psychedelic effects are awesome! No wonder it was a major influence for the early synth pop bands!
