Highly Entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2006)

Wow! I just got home after seeing this movie and was completely blown away. Everything about this film just seemed to work. The Wachowski brothers have perfected their style and it shows in this film. The blowing up Parliament scene at the end was a great touch. There were many political issues addressed in the film, such as homosexuality, but also it had some ties to the Hitler government. Natalie Portman is spectacular as the heroine Evey. She delivers her role with confidence and slight humor. She has a great scene with "V" (played wonderfully by Hugo Weaving) when she attempts to kiss him. Because it is so funny. John Hurt is equally as great (he and Portman are the best of the cast) as the High Chancellor in future England. A great film all around and I recommend it to anyone who loves drama-action flicks.
