Fresh and Superb

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2006)

Movies like this one do not come along all the time, but when they do they wake us up to what film mastery actually is. This film holds us speechless by the masterful acting, breathless from the action, and thinking due to the plot. It is a story that hits very close to home for those of us from the United States. While our government is nowhere near as bad as the one presented in the film, it may be steadily approaching. "V" is the perfect hero; a freedom fighter labeled terrorist by the government. The ideas he leaves embedded in our minds as we leave the theater alone makes this movie worth your money. The dialouge from "V" is amazing. Portman does an excellent job as Evey. The action, even if it is not frequent, is pulse-pounding and stellar. Do yourself a favor and go see this movie if you have not. You will leave with a smile on your face and provocative thought in your mind.
