Our take on V for Vendetta

James McTeigue's 2006 film unfolds in a Great Britain reshaped into a fascist state, where a masked vigilante known only as V wages guerrilla resistance against an oppressive government. When he rescues a young woman from the secret police, she becomes an ally in his campaign to rouse the country toward freedom. Blending action, science fiction and thriller, it's a dystopian tale as interested in ideas about authority and rebellion as in its set pieces, filtered through a striking central figure who hides behind a mask. It suits viewers drawn to politically charged genre cinema with a provocative streak. Expect something more talkative and thematic than a straightforward action ride.
