Must see

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2006)

A compelling movie with a strong message for current times. In the not too distant future a government uses fear of terrorism, disease, and chaos to keep people in line. Anyone not true to the party line is traitorous and is eliminated. These messages are timeless and have occurred numerous times in the history of mankind. V is the current definition of a terrorist that uses his strengths to try and convince the people of his country to repel the insidious leaders that have implemented a fascist regime. A few simple story lines are all that is necessary to bring the characters to life with a strong script and impeccable acting. How many people would it take to expel fascism and take back a country from evil wearing the garb of faith and armed with the power of governance? How many people are brave enough to choose freedom at any cost? Can individuals find the will among themselves to rise up?
