Savage Three

This is the first of the five movies in the Years of Lead box set that I have watched.The point of this movie was to showcase how there are just some bad apples amongst us who wish to hurt and kill for no apparent reason. It’s kind of like a dumbed down version of A Clockwork Orange. There is no real character development and, unlike Kubrick’s film, the story never really tricks us into sympathizing with the thugs, but it also gives us no reason to root for the inspector who is pursuing them. There are some memorable scenes of violence and 1970s computing.
