Brilliant for our times...

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2006)

The first thing I did after seeing this movie was go out and get a copy. Weaving is brilliant as V and Portman plays off of him perfectly. Well written with great casting and scenes, this movie is closer to the present than one may think.
Weaving portrays V as a delightfully complex character who shows great compassion and mercy for the people and is ruthless with the government and the evil ones that put him and countless others into misery.
This film needs to be watched 5 or 6 times to fully appreciate it. Minor continuity errors take nothing away from this great piece of work....
