okeydokey, its got a cheesey title but please get past that and buy/rent it!!
Quick review without giving too much away,
a Mysterious man known only as V begins a terrorsit campaign across an england of the future that due to the geopoliticle situation of the time (and some references to an ever increasing american war with the east...) has transformed the democratic government into a cross between Nazzi Germany and george orwells vision of 1984.
he is suprised to find an allie in a young female whom he comes to trust.
the main characters:
V: played by Hugo Weaving
Also known as Agent Smith from the matrix and Anthony 'Tick' Belrose/Mitzi Del Bra in my personal favourite, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
I couldnt believe it at the end when i found out he had played V, it was a masterful performance, he created a character that was deeply pasionate and creative and yet absolute and ruthless in his execution of events.
Evey Hammond played by Natalie Portman.
After her in my opinion, terrible performances in StarWars i am extreamly happy to report that she played this character very well, transforming her from a simple sheep to a freedom fighter, my only regret about her character is that they didnt make enough use of her...
The final scene in the film is remarkable, the shots of london with all the masks (youl see what i mean) although mostly done in CGI are beautiful and the sequences for the finale are spectacular.
my only regret about this film was that it left me wanting more action! the scripting was wonderful though
