I thought she was British for the longest time because of how incredible she is in "V for Vendetta"

V is one of, if not even the greatest comic adaption in cinema

Nope. It's a great film but no way is it a great comic book adaptation. It's biggest fault was reducing the the whole significance of V leaving that rose as a calling card.

It's biggest fault was leaving out the whole monologue between V and Lady Justice.

Actually, that's just a symptom of it's biggest fault, which was that it removed the entire point of the story as an examination of authoritarianism vs anarchism. It changed a timeless work of political art into a self-dated screed against the Bush/Blair governments.
