Disappointing at times

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2011)

I thought that the film was reasonably good, displaying refreshing ideas of corruption in a British government and a masked crusader. However, Natalie Portman's accent constantly hints an Australian accent rather than English, which I don't criticise her for, but it's disappointing to the actuality.
Also the context of London and time period is completely elusive and poses an enormous narrative gap in the film. Why is the government shaped the way it is prosecuting homosexuals and ideologies that resemble the British National Party?
The autobiography of the lesbian prisoner that Evey reads imprisoned portrayed visually enacted is blunt, assumptive and the acting resembles several other moments of averagely performed acting.
I have rated the film 6*s overall taking into consideration the random assumptions and moments of awkward attempts at comedy; the worst was the tragically acted opening in which the damsel is created and literary hero/villain presented.
