V For Vendetta (2006)

V For Vendetta is your quintessential “rage against the machine” film with a twist; the movie plot seems to be playing itself out in many countries today.  It hooks viewers in from the first v-soaked dialogue out of Hugo Weaving’s mouth.

Natalie Portman was a perfect choice for the female protagonist, playing beautiful, innocent, and resolute all at once. One scene that shows off her multifaceted nature involves the seduction of a wayward catholic priest, where we get a glimpse of her talents.
