V for Vendetta

What can I say? I know nothing about the graphic novel, although it's one of Tom's favorites. This movie physically injured me. Not that this is a bad thing. It hit extremely close to home, and it's whole ambiguous take on a terrorist was unsettling. Perhaps similar to how people originally felt when Psycho first came out and made you sympathize with Norman. The acting was sweet. The action didn't lord over the movie like the Matrix boys' past two films. I loved the tension between the investigator and V; it kept making me think of Death Note. I'm odd like that. It is a very good movie. That said, I doubt I'd be able to watch it too often, being that it scares the shit out of me. I'm just glad to see a movie come out that's less about wowing people with effects and more about making them think. Even if the parallels to the Bush administration were insanely heavy-handed at times.
