Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jayne Wisener, Ed Sanders. Adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, in which Depp plays Sweeney Todd, a man who becomes a deranged murderer seeking revenge after being falsely imprisoned. Bonham Carter plays Mrs. Lovett, Todd's lover, who disposes of his victims by baking them into meat pies. The story has darkly humorous and tragic dimensions, but mostly it's just a bloody downer. Directed by Tim Burton. Grade: C-
