I have to say, he played a grumpier Elrond than I could possibly have imagined.
Not having seen the entire movie nor read the book (V again), I can't pass judgment on the moral. But it does seem to me that a movie or book can portray the acts of desperate people (even sympathetically) without necessarily justifying them.
On the other hand, one can always play the "what if?" game-- if your response wouldn't be V's (or whoever-- fill in your movie character of choice here), what would it be? What would be more appropriate, more just, more effective, etc.?
I don't know what I would do if trapped in a totalitarian society. I'd like to think that my actions would more resemble those of the Quakers in Nazi Germany than V's, but how can I know how I would react to torture or the abduction of my loved ones?
