They don't know what they're talking about. I was shocked to find that it had only a 47% on Rotten Tomatoes and reading all the negative reviews on here. This was a good movie, but people consider this to be a very polarizing movie, it's either a love it or hate it movie for most people, but I think this movie deserves a lot more respect than it gets. As far as I'm concerned, this might be Oliver Stone's best film, but then again, I didn't get around to watching JFK or Platoon yet. The film's detractors either say that the movie glorifies violence, that it contradicts it's own message, or that it's visuals are ugly, all of which are erroneous claims. The criticism that the movie is too violent Andy graphic for it's good is not a valid criticism. That's what I'd like to tell these people. I just don't get why A Clockwork Orange was rated so much better than this movie, despite being similar in theme being another social commentary movie that's disturbing and has a anti-violence message. That being said, this movie is very underrated and deserves more attention. Woody Harrelson does such a good job in the leading role, so do Juliet Lewis and Robert Downey Jr. in this movie. Please take my advice if you're reading this and watch this movie. If you do heed my advice, go watch the Director's cut to get the full experience. Just go watch it.
