Every Vigilante's Dream...

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2007)

The plot is like a giant web that connects all the characters and involves them, whether they wish to be involved or not. It is about a hero/villain named V who seeks vengeance against those who hurt and disfigured him. Evey Hammond gets involved in the plot when she tries to visit her boss and is almost hurt by fingermen. V rescues her and brings her with him to the site where he explodes the Old Bailey. After that, she is involved whether she wants to be or not, because the police think she is a suspect.
This film is intelligent and engrossing. I always come away from it thinking about the themes of the story and how they pertain to history. While this movie came out in the U.S, there was some talk about how it, and other films, were somehow protesting what the Bush administration was doing. However, I think that anyone who sees this film will get a kick out of it, whether they are the left-wing or right-wing.
