A superb film

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2006)

V For Vendetta continues the Wachowski Brothers' superb style of film-making. Following in the styles of The Matrix Trilogy and Bound, in terms of the look and issues, this film works on all levels. Especial kudos go to Hugo Weaving for his brilliant performance as V - only an actor of his caliber can take the Wachowski Brothers' intricate usage of dialogue and make it work. He keeps his mask on for the whole film and yet I felt the emotions he tried to convey WITHOUT facial usage - Mr. Weaving is indeed a great actor. Natalie Portman also does a stellar job as Evey, and the director James McTeigue successfully brings the Wachowski's script to life. Oh, and look out for the brilliant fight sequence finale - well done indeed - a V for Victory! This is no much a review as an endorsement for the film which I don't really want to give away the plot - suffice it to say, see the film, you won't regret it - 9 out of 10.
