The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael.... On the front cover they mention A Clockwork Orange. Seriously, this movie should not be mentioned in the same breath as A Clockwork. Nothing paricularly intriguing about the movie. It is slow, fairly mundane and dull to be honest. The violence in the closing scene is certainly extreme but seems to have been thrown in simply for shock value. I'm not going to say that the closing scene should have been cut because I am against censorship. However, it does seem a little mindless. If you want an exhilarating movie with edgey storylines, interesting charcters and plenty of violence then try Natural Born Killers (Directors Cut) and A Clockwork. They are in a different league compared to this work.

i can see where the other reviewers are coming from, but i actually enjoyed this movie and own it. i cannot reccomend it to anyone with a weak stomach but i do to people that are awake to what the world is today. the cinematography is amazing and very artistic, which is the only elegant element to this movie as everything else is dark and disturbing. the whole hour and twenty mins results in by far an extremely graphic ending that puts everything confusing before into place. this is even more graphic than gaspar noe's french movie IRREVERSIBLE. theres your warning...

This film has got to be the biggest load of rubbish i have watched, i only bought it as i was lead to believe danny dyer played a main part which is untrue would not recommend it to anyone.
