V for Vendetta

In the not-too-distant future, Britain has become a fascist, totalitarian state, its population cowed and apathetic. But the nation receives a wake-up call when mysterious masked terrorist "V" (Weaving) blows up the Old Bailey and calls for the citizens to rise up against their oppressors.

Excellent film that makes you think about just how trustworthy people in power can be in an England portrayed as God-fearing, racially ‘pure’ and purged of all its sexual ‘deviants’. Is this where we are heading post 9/11? Scary.

Fantastic.
