Superb study of violence based on the Anthony Burgess book of the same name.
Malcolm MacDowell is excellent as the vicious gang leader, Alex, leading his droogs in a campaign of terror and the old ultra violence - against those he either despises or feels threatened by.
Astonishingly relevent even 36 years on, this is a must watch movie.
