Worth viewing, even for the young revolutionary

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2006)

I have, not one hour ago, just seen a screening for V for Vendetta. I was blown away. It seems that after the controversial conclusion of the Matrix trilogy, the Brothers have decided to get their act together, so to speak. As you well know, the movie follows the comic quite closely. What is most pleasing about this film is how strongly it resounds with today's state of affairs. While I'm reading the news saying that the Patriot Act has passed into legislation, I am instantly reminded of the message of V (and many before him), Those that would sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither.
Enjoy the action (absolutly dripping with Wachowski flare/style) Enjoy the character's Journey (although truthfully V's background was not explained well enough to satisfy the newbie crowd) Enjoy the political statements if you care to. Whatever you enjoy in a movie, go see V for yourself.
