Impressive cinematography, powerful story.

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2006)

A real sleeper film, I wasn't even aware it had been released until my local video store received it. To my delight, it was one of the best movies I've ever seen, enough to give it a 10. And in my opinion, out of 2006, the only released (on DVD and in theaters) actually worth seeing. Absolutely stunning cinematography, beautiful audio, convincing acting, and a very powerful story. It was like watching a dramatic theatre show, not a movie. A very serious plot confronts social issues in the near future that stem from problems in the world today. This film combines a very unique and original view with the brilliantly-created character 'V', a political visionary and rebel. Though it conveys a political message, it's not overly-preachy at all, and the true dramatic theatre quality is unbelievably entertaining. Very few movies deserve a 10/10, this is one of them. Do yourself a favor and pick up the DVD, you won't regret it.
