125. V for Vendetta (#153)

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This time, James McTiegue's V for Vendetta. Accosted by "finger men" for breaking curfew, Evey Hammond is rescued by a mysterious stranger who only introduces himself as "V." As Evey finds herself drawn deeper into the world of this violent vaudevillian figure and as she discovers more and more of his plot to topple the country's totalitarian regime, Evey finds herself wonder whether this masked figure is a vigilante or villain. At time of recording, it was ranked the 153rd best movie of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
