Compelling

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2015)

After reading of the recent protests in Central London on Guy Fawkes night by Guido mask wearers, it reminded me that I still hadn't seen this film. What a brilliant film this turned out to be. The wonderful prose that flows out from V when he first meets Evey is delightful and there is something almost Shakespearian with the way it is delivered. The story is very intriguing and keeps you hooked throughout. The violence is comical in places and then quite disturbing in others. Brilliantly acted with a stellar cast, this is definitely a film I will have to watch again to take in the richness of the dialogue and the acting. Very entertaining!
