Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

A fine film that refreshingly asks the viewer to think and doesn't rely heavily on special effects or violence at the expense of an intelligent script or complex character development. Oh, there's action and suspense aplenty but the core of this film speaks volumes about the nature of fear, compliance and the role of the individual and government. It is also a timely warning for us all in these days of fear regarding terrorism.
I was enthralled by the quality of the acting, the superb script and the depth and quality of ideas therein. For the first time in many years I left a cinema feeling truly uplifted...such is the evocative nature of this film.
Don't be put off by the comic book references, the strange mask or the "Zorroish" look of the main character. You must see this film as I'm sure that one day it will be regarded as a classic of its time.
