MOVIE REVIEW | V FOR VENDETTA

Evey (Natalie Portman) is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V" in V for Vendetta.
Revenge of the words
Excessive storytelling threatens anarchic avenger most
The plot of V for Vendetta sounds controversial: A lone man sets off explosions and commits murders to protest policies of the government.

Before you label the man who calls himself V a terrorist, understand that his government is corrupt and dictatorial, and that his victims are officials and others responsible for committing atrocities against the people.
