Set in the year 2020, Britain is under a fascist regime that has rounded up minorities, gays and political dissidents and exterminated them. All that is left is a fearful and terrified public. Standing up for them against the evil government is V (Hugo Weaving) who wears a mask and dresses like Guy Fawkes, an anti-government extremist who tried to blow up Parliament back in 1605.

Shy worker girl Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman) is grabbed by government henchmen for breaking curfew. V saves her and enlists her to help him. It's a rather twisted relationship as Evey is won over while police detective Finch (Stephen Rea) is investigating V's every move.

Video: Great transfer, greater on widescreen TV. Colors are a bit muted but that's the film's style. Hey, it's quite a new film so it still looks great.

Audio: The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is pretty awesome with heavy bass and good surround and the action sequences really rock out. Dialogue comes out fine although I never could understand all of "V's" rhymes.
