Have to say I totally enjoyed this movie based on the book of the same name. Set in a totalitarian fascist Britain, the film follows the story of 'V' a political anarchist whose reasons for his violent actions are gradually revealed through a series of flashbacks of his past life. At one level the film is a very human drama with all kinds of emotions on display. Yes, there is violence too, but thankfully it is all in the context of the plot.The film diverges significantly in parts from the book which I read a while back, but that is okay as allows the viewer and reader to have two different comparative interpretations. Interpretation is a subjective thing, and one of the messages I took away is that sometimes it is harder to free yourself from the prison of your own mind than it is to break free from the bricks and mortar kind.
A most definitive 10/10.

I have heard it is a good show. Haven't seen it though, or read the book.
