Alan Moore's graphic novel of a terrorist sabotaging a Fascist regime in futuristic England delivers on the action. It is also that rare action thriller which has a thoughtful political agenda much in the style of The Matrix; The Wachowskis actually helped produce V For Vendetta. Hugo Weaving gives his best performance as the intelligent swashbuckling freedom fighter known only as V. Natalie Portman is good as his accomplice and confidant. John Hurt is a lot of fun as a despotic tyrant.
