Not the usual super-hero movie.

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2006)

Since English is not my native language I always enjoy watching movies in English OV.
The movie itself is a masterpiece of narration. Usually this kind of picture is told in a more straight forward visual fashion while in this particular case Vendetta really does have a narrative way of telling a really compelling story.
The acting was amazing, not only Portman did a really great job in my humble opinion, but the entire cast was put together very nicely. Everyone is uniquely and perfectly picked for their roles.
The visual and action elements of the movie are done nicely however they are rather in the background not drawing away too much of the attention from the actors and the story itself. It fits. Could be a little more but to be honest I did not enjoy the action as much as I did the rest, although my intention when going to the theater was to see some action. :-) I don't think that I'd be ever that glad being wrong about a movie since the night turned out to be a great experience.
