V for Vendetta - 2005

Remember Remember the 5th of November...

Ok I have to admit, this is a really great story. And one that has not been touched before. Anyone interested in Guy Fawkes night will want to check this out. It's an intense and well constructed thriller. Sure you may not be able to keep up with the exact plot the whole way through, but you know the outcome is going to be fantastic. It does drag, and there are parts that feel too weighty which may put you off, but overall the story is captivating. It really makes you think about society and terrorism. You can look at it in the modern sense of terrorist bombers or you can look at it in the old-fashioned sense of someone trying to keep the memory of the 5th November alive. Either way long after this film is over you wil be thinking about it. Natalie Portman gives a brilliant performance as well which makes the film even more memorable.

Rating 4/5
