Living in a fascistic, repressive Britain of the near future, a lone vigilante with a Guy Fawkes fetish attempts to spark a revolution using bombs, murder, and illicit television broadcasts, in McTeigue’s big, loud, and decideldy unsubtle if generally well acted and diverting film, which is more likely to appeal to fans of Malcolm X and Che Guevara than Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
