A film the world has waited to see!

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2006)

I'm amazed it was ever released in Britain. Although fictitious and set in the future, it brought out traces of what the everyday prisoners of her majesty question each day, "are we in control of our fate, are our actions a counter-effect, and finally are we only to realise we are not in control." Hugo Weaving amazed me. I'm used to seeing him play Agent Smith, a wooden character with little or no emotion, but his tonality was truly fantastic. Natalie Portman was also one to be admired, if not only because her beauty was still present when she looked like a militia fighter. An outstanding film that hope will receive as much recognition as praise. 5 stars *****
