Review of V for Vendetta (2006) by Matt M — 11 Jan 2014
Based on a famous DC comic, this film is based in a Britain of the future ruled by a totalitarian government which finds opposition in a mysterious figure who wears a mask and calls himself V and stirs the people's anger towards their fury.
From the genial minds of the Wachowski brothers who wrote and produced this film, comes a very different kind of science fiction film; it is daring in it portrayal of terrorism and media hypocrisy and a great reflection on the messed up world in which we live.
The graphics and special effects are spectacular and the film as a whole is memorable and iconic. The leads are all great, with Portman as the young woman who bonds with V being particularly notable for her performance in some very difficult and riveting scenes.
