V For very good

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2006)

Watched this last night on DVD and was mesmerised by the story with characters who you felt you knew and could ring and invite for a cup of tea. The story line is so relevant that I was at times overwhelmed and felt as though this was a view of the future of next week which scared the hell out of me. The most powerful scene for me was when the soldiers stood down and it reminded me of Tieneman square when that student stood in front of that tank and forced it to move around him. I am happy to say that this film is one of the greatest films I have ever seen and would recommend it to everybody. In addition it was great to see Stephen Rea again I had forgotten how excellent he is his understated performance was superb.
