Ballsy Stuff For A Big-Budget U.S. Film...

Rating: 8/10 (3 September 2006)

I had absolutely no interest in this film. Several friends said it was good, so I gave it a look. They were right. There's some pretty inflammatory material in this film that I actually have to applaud Hollywood for backing.
V FOR VENDETTA centers around a masked vigilante who employs terrorist-like techniques to try to bring down the corrupt government of futuristic England. A young girl is accidentally caught up in the mix and becomes his unwitting accomplice in his actions...
There's a whole lot more to V FOR VENDETTA's plot than the above, but it's probably better to watch it knowing as little as possible. A good mix of action, social-commentary, and cautionary tale - this film is far more than the typical comic-book action-fest that is so much more common from mainstream films. All the performances are top-notch, the action sequences are well done, and the plot is well-written. Definitely worth checking out...8.5/10
