V for vendetta- review

V for Vendetta

A futuristic thriller, not on a far off planet but set on earth herself, this movie comes with subtle questions, an entirely new premise and a feeling of rebellion.
From the house of Wachowskis, who gave us the matrix triology, V for Vendetta transports you to a civil war torn USA and a totalitarian UK. The people fear the government. Propaganda and injustice is ramprant. The story speaks of V, a masked rebel, a product of government sponsored inhuman experiments, fighting a lone battle against the system. He's a phantom, who moves noiselessly ,unseen, unknow, commiting fantastic acts of rebellion.
Blowing up buildings, and killing people, the man behind the mask is not a mindless terrorist but an intellectual, who understands and appreciates the importance of freedom. Evy, a reporter finds her life entangled with V's only to have it changed, forever.
Some parts of the movie are overdramatized, an a quick eye can spot continuity flaws, but in all the movie does justice to the storyline.
Based on a novel by Alan Moore and directed by James McTeigue, the movie has a lot to offer.
