Jack Nicholson's performance is incredible. While there are similarities, it deviates a bunch from the book, which you should read as well.

Incredibly intricate, beautifully shot and masterfully acted. Kubrick at his most cerebral

This is a classic, but it feels inappropriately goofy at times. Nicholson may have been the wrong choice for the role.

Amazing acting and incredibly well shot with a score that will make your hair stand on end.
