This movie owes very big time to Stanley Kubrick. But, apart from this huge influence (notably for the direction of actors and for the choice and use of music), and Tom Hardy's great (à la De Niro) impersonation of "England's most dangerous criminal", the movie does not really bring originality.An other problem would be the subject itself : showing the life of someone who does never know what he wants (or does not want anything at all ?) did not lead very far. Or maybe, by pretending to be the director's acceptance of someone else's failing, this movie does not represent much more than the making of a show of violent battles for 2 hours.
Still, one could dream about what Kubrick would have done with such a theme... Maybe he actually did : "A Clockwork Orange".
