IMDB Plot Summary:
"Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he detonates two London landmarks and takes over the government-controlled airwaves, urging his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption."

This movie has less action that you might expect, but what action is does have is done very well. It is very story driven and has some wonderful acting. I loved it and plan on seeing it again. It is comparable to the movie Equilibrium in that it's about a corrupt government and about one man's quest to unveil the truth and set things right. It came out this Friday and I urge you to go see it. It's $8.50 well spent.
