A young man kills a woman by beating her

A scene is shown in which Alex thinks about Jesus being beaten by Roman Soldiers and he is one of the soldiers. (The scene is potrayed as a dreamlike state) In the same scene it shows a roman battle with sword fighting and a mans throat is cut and blood squirts out and sprays upward.

A scene involves two gangs fighting with chains, canes, baseball bats and knives... several characters are brutally beaten and hospitalized. (The hospitalization is talked about on-screen; however, we do not see them in the hospital)

A main theme of the movie is about a gang of boys who are obsessed with drugs, sex, and violence and get their thrills doing all of these

Alex is a very scary, seducing, creepy, disturbing and sadistic individual and is one of the most vicious characters portrayed on film

The scene with the song "Singing In The Rain" is quite rough and intense and will upset some viewers

Alex's "reconditioning" is extremly rough (not violent per se, but emotional)
