English writer Alan Moore best know for his work in comics and graphic novels may constantly distance himself from the film adaptations of his work but Watchmen and in particular V For Vendetta are both well made and thought provoking movies.
V nicely captures a dystopian society on the edge of rebellion and becomes an interesting parable of the terrorist threatened world today.
Interesting ideas abound and the acting is top drawer. Visually, V is stunning and offers a London of the future as a grim fearful place.
As a popcorn movie, V is great escapism, as a political allergy, it is a meaningful and highly intelligent piece of work.
