Ray Winstone stars as the notorious 'Demon Barber of Fleet Street' in this dark and enthralling tale of love, obsession, murder and ultimately redemption. Life on the harsh streets of London in 1765 is not for the faint-hearted and only the fittest survive. Living in the shadow of Newgate Prison, Sweeney Todd tries to carve out a quiet and simple life as a barber. Then, by chance, a sadistic gaoler who made Sweeney's childhood a living hell comes in to his shop for a shave. Sweeney is repelled by the presence of his former abuser, and realises he has a chance to take revenge. (BBC)

Let me introduce the esteemed Mister Sweeney Todd. You may come across him on Broadway, or in an (over)stylized form by Master Burton, but also in this adaptation of the original folk story from the BBC. The success of Mr. Todd lies mainly in two aspects. The atmosphere and the quality of acting. The first mentioned was mastered perfectly not only because of the background music. And just looking at the cast there is no need to comment on the second. The movie as a whole would never hold together if it weren’t for Ray Winstone in the role of the good old barber. It might take a while until you learn to like his “psychotic attacks", but it’s only a question of time. Then you can just get comfortable in your chair and entrust yourself to his macabre care. No need to worry, he’ll take good care of you. His clientele could tell you. If only they could.
