Review: V for Vendetta
[rate 3.5]
Went and saw this yesterday with Nelson. I’m working on short and sweet reviews for movies, and his was great: “I don’t feel like I got ripped off.”
As other reviews indicate, the protagonist (V) is a guy in a Guy Fawkes mask who blows up buildings. In the meantime, the police tries to track V down and find out not only his identity, but why he’s doing what he does. There’s a lot more to it than that, and it’s a warning to see what happens when a government no longer respects, trusts, or fears its citizens.
As for the movie itself, I noticed that there was very little special effects going on. There’s some action and stuff blowing up, but you get the sense that until near the end, there’s not much in the way of special effects.
It’s in few theaters now, but it’s definately worth renting or buying when it comes out on DVD.
