Tim Burton and Johnny Depp: two legendary talents team again. The director and star of five remarkable films (including Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) now add a razor-sharp sixth with this gripping thriller based on Stephen Sondheim's worldwide stage sensation. This tale of a 19th-century London barber with revenge on his mind and a blade in his hand has it all: blood, mystery, romance, wit, exhilarating music and stunning visual design. Co-stars Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Sacha Baron Cohen add more menace to the masterpiece as Sweeney's partner and victims in crime. Need a shave? A close shave? Sweeney's waiting.
