Synopsis:
In a London of the future under the sway of a totalitarian regime, a former victim of government experiments plots to fulfil Guy Fawkes's mission and blow up the Houses of Parliament. And he does.
Review:
Based on a comic strip, ubiquitous form of cinematic inspiration, this piece of high camp is tremendous fun, sporting a cultured, Shakespeare-spouting, tortured soul behind a mask and the delightful Natalie Portman, not to mention a half dozen or so under-used British actors, with the exception of Hurt who gets to rant a lot.
