A shadowy freedom fighter known only as "V" uses terrorist tactics to fight against his totalitarian society. Upon rescuing a girl from the secret police, he also finds his best chance at having an ally.
This film, itself, is visually stunning with a thought-provoking story that is a solid piece of entertainment. Its production design are amazing and the overall look of the film is fantastic. This is one of the best films of 2006.
I have to watch this film a second time because it was very confusing the first. I didn't understand the long words and new characters appear in other scenes that are important to the plot. Now that I have read someone's summary and have seen it a second time, I understand the film and it's very good.
The acting by Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving are great. There are some great visualized scenes with some great action scenes but it's more in the vein on Batman Begins, which is a good thing. There aren't really many action scenes but I wasn't disappointed because this movie keeps your attention.
If you want an intriguing story more than a bombastic action thriller, this is a fantastic film. It will keep your attention for the visualized scenes and great story.
