Movie Review

Grade: B+ Not the action movie I was expecting it to be, but instead a to-the-point and thrilling political commentary with some very good action sequences, "V for Vendetta" is a quality film that doesn't always hit dead-on, but comes close quite often. The third act is especially strong, at least from a cinematic perspective. Read the full movie review
