Based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore, V for Vendetta takes place in an alternate vision of Britain in which a corrupt and abusive totalitarian government has risen to complete power. During a threatening run in with the secret police, an unassuming young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) is rescued by a vigilante named V (Hugo Weaving) – a caped figure both articulate and skilled in combat. V embodies the principles of rebellion from an authoritarian state, donning a mask of vilified would-be terrorist of British history Guy Fawkes and leading a revolution sparked by assassination and destruction. Evey becomes his unlikely ally, newly aware of the cruelty of her own society and her role in it.

V For Vendetta is yet another big-screen adaptation from the comics/graphic novel realm, coming under the sometimes over gaudy hands of producer Joel Silver, a screenplay from Matrix brainchildren, the Wachowski brothers, and the first big directing gig for James McTeigue. A rookie director, slapping the Wachowski's name across this one, combined with trailers that made this out to be something it wasn't (ie, a big comic action film), caused a fair amount of nervous bristling amongst those who read and savored the finer points of the Alan Moore/David Lloyd book about a rogue vigilante with a penchant for a certain historical Catholic revolutionary from the 1600s, in a story set in a post-apocalyptic near-future fascist-run England.

Hollywood often has a way of bastardizing the most volatile and beautiful of works into a something-for-everyone nothingness, so fanboy concern ("Hello, my name is Rich…") over this one seemed well justified. While artist David Lloyd still backed the adaptation of the graphic novel, the always crusty but cool Alan Moore has gone to great lengths to set himself apart from the production, concerned that filmmakers had tried to Americanize his attack on the British government. When elements of the production such as actress Natalie Portman getting her head shaved for the role seemed to overshadow whether or not the film was going to remain faithful popped up like tiny red flags.

It turns out much of the concern was for nothing, because the final product, even with some questionable moments, carries a steady dose of "anarchy can be good" throughout. The screenplay seemed the biggest hurdle, taking all the sometimes verbose talking points about violently rising up against an oppressive government, but to also properly paints the antihero who adopts the moniker V and who wears an eerily grinning Guy Fawkes mask. V—played in the film by a constantly masked Hugo Weaving—wants to mirror Fawkes' ill-fated 1605 plan— known as the Gunpowder Plot—to blow up the House of Parliament as a way of striking back at a government gone horribly wrong.

The Wachowskis, for all their trimming, restructuring and character tweaking, still managed to keep this as a story about the power of ideas—well, ideas backed with lots of knives and explosives—as the iron-fisted Chancellor Sutler (John Hurt) puts a powerful fascist squeeze on the English populace (picture The Wall meets a Nazi rally meets 1984), only to catch the ire of Weaving's V, operating from his chock-full-of-forbidden-literature-and-music underground homebase known as the Shadow Gallery. Sutler appears via massive Big Brother-ish television screens, scowling orders to his underlings as V publicly announces his plan to take down the government on the 5th of November anniversary of Fawkes foiled overthrow. Portman, British-accent and all, plays Evey Hammond, the orphaned daughter of somewhat radical-thinking parents who accidentally falls in with V, and has to determine whether he's nuttier than a fruitcake or doing what really needs to be done.

A film like this falls into a weird niche, because even though it comes from the comic world, it's not a colorful EFX flick, nor is it an big, noisy action film as the trailers might have indicated. There are just a few Wachowski spins here, most notably a Matrix-like knife battle in the third act, but surprisingly the film almost downplays set-piece action in favor of proposing, as V says, that "ideas are bulletproof" and the power of change is in the hands of the people. In light of things like the Oklahoma City bombing or 9/11, it's difficult to champion a character who thinks blowing up buildings is the right thing to do, but Weaving gives V a floppy sense of right, even as it seems that perhaps he is more than a little touched in the head. Or is he?

Even though this is based on a graphic novel from the early 1980s, it is kind of funny to see the very broad anti-Bush parallels in play here—that being one of the things Alan Moore felt took away from his original intent as a slam against England—and in a weird way a film like this could do more to get deadbeats out to vote than anything. There's a telling block of dialogue, spoken by V and reworked and maybe a little dumbed down for the film, that reiterates the point:

V for Vendetta (2005) [Special Edition] [ReUp]

"Cruelty and injustice, intolerance, and depression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you…"
