There are actually 2 heroes here Natalie Portman (Evey) as well as Hugo Weaving (V). V has been imprisoned and tortured as a political prisoner due to the fascist rise of Sutler. V, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, blows up a building in dramatic fashion on November 5, Guy Fawkes Day, and promises to do more of the same a year later. His paths cross with Evey at the TV station that she works, and he kidnaps her, both for his and her protection.
It's a twisted relationship they have and it's tricky to say where one ends and the other begins.
A nice subplot with the detectives Finch and Ditrich trying to solve the crimes of V and find out who he is while uncovering deep state secrets about the Larkhill Prison.
Reminded me a lot of Batman, and it came out about the same time of the Dark Night trilogy of Batman moves.
