Not V(R)idiculous,but V(D)issappointing

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2006)

First,let me say that I think the acting was terrific especially Portman. I fault the script for making a V declaration of caring less than believable, and except for some effective misdirection in scenes involving Portman, this movie was contrived and as a result altogether anticlimactic.
I did think the movie delivered it's message of the struggle for freedom, the psychological and political obstacles in direct conflict, and a proposed solution to the struggle. However, I believe the script and direction could have built a more effective emotional connection with V and his interest in order to make us beg for his declaration rather than it's passe disclosure.
I would say the movie is interesting, but not good.
