The story is based on an old comic strip. Set in a Britain of the future, which is under a totallitarian government. Enter "V", a freedom fighter, sort of like a modern day Guy Fawkes.
Hugo Weaving has done an brilliant job, even though we never get to see his face. Natalie Portman is very good. And I liked the chappie playing the inspector
Well, those expecting a typical Wachowski fare, be warned. It isnt exactly an out and out action film. And it isnt loaded with SFX either. The first half is quite fast pace, but the second half drags a wee bit. The couple of major action sequences are quite exciting.
I would say watch it for hugo weaving
He's come a long way since his agent smith and Elrond days....
