Dire

Rating: 2/10 (27 July 2008)

the script is clichéd and forgettable.
for a film set in england, it is strangely americanised. i suppose because the original tory fascism v anarchy of the comic was transformed to a denouncement of post 9-11 neo-conservatism.
that would explain why i as a brit found it so emotionally uninvolving. i would guess that most of the high stars given for this film came from Americans.
the characters lacked depth, so i just did not care for them, or their struggles.
how did v manage to procure all those masks and organise all those van deliveries in a totalitarian regime where everyone was being spied on? do yourselves a favour and read the original graphic novel; it is a masterpiece.
