Very good!

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2006)

This movie was very good. I truly believe that the Wachowski brothers did Alan Moore's comic justice when they wrote this. Hugo Weaving was excellent as V. Before this he was typecast in my mind as Agent Smith from the Matrix. Natalie Portman had a very convincing accent and was perfect for the part of Evey. Stephen Rea and John Hurt rounded off this cast. It was perfect. The movie takes place in a futuristic fascist England. The government commits unspeakable crimes against its own citizens, but everyone is afraid to speak up. Evey, after being attacked by the police, is rescued by a man known only as V. Over time she begins to realize who V really is, an idea. V, although trying to help the people of England, has his own scores to settle before carrying out his plan to set the people of England free. Very good movie, makes you think about the direction our own government is headed in.
