I just did a google search and came across this and thought sounds interesting with Hugo Weaving:
Plot Outline: A shadowy freedom fighter known only as "V" uses terrorist tactics to fight against his totalitarian society. Upon rescuing a girl from the secret police, he also finds his best chance at having an ally.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/
Then I scrolled down and saw this:
The action scenes manage to save the movie from the oblivious depths of mediocrity, if only to a certain amount of degree. The best part comes near the ending but it's not long and exciting enough to warrant the earlier parts of it.
"V for Vendetta" does have its moments but they are few and far between. It is visually striking but just as previous film adaptations of Alan Moore's graphic novels ("Constantine", "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"), something went lacking upon reaching the silver screen.

I am a fan of Alan Moore's graphic novels, and read this one some time ago - ( it came out in the 80's..)
I am looking forward to this movie, however I have heard that Alan Moore has demanded his name not be associated with this project due to the fact that he is unhappy with the result of previous movie adaptations of his work.
I recommend that everyone reads another of his graphic novels - "The Watchmen"... Very thought provoking and interesting..
