Chicago Sun-Times It is the year 2020. A virus runs wild in the world, most Americans are dead, and Britain is ruled by a fascist dictator who promises security but not freedom. One man stands against him, the man named V, who moves through London like a wraith despite the desperate efforts of the police. Roger Ebert

Reelviews V for Vendetta represents 2006's first memorable motion picture - a visually sumptuous concoction that combines political allegory, bloody action, and a few stunning cinematic moments into a solid piece of entertainment. While it's true that the film at times overreaches and its connection to its graphic novel inspiration is tenuous, V for Vendetta mostly succeeds playing in the same sci-fi thriller arena as Aeon Flux and Ultraviolet. James Berardinelli

San Francisco Chronicle "V for Vendetta'' would be worth seeing just as an anomaly, a big-budget Hollywood release that could be interpreted as sticking it to the American and British governments by showing the catastrophic fates these countries meet in the not-too-distant future, precipitated by disastrous policymaking. But "Vendetta'' is also richly satisfying entertainment the way movies are at their best, when they prod you to think. Ruthe Stein

USA Today The movie follows the story of a mysterious masked rebel who opposes a totalitarian regime set in Great Britain. Known only as V (The Matrix's Hugo Weaving), he protects the life of an innocent and idealistic young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) as she is about to be attacked by thugs. Claudia Puig
