Once in London there lived a young and naïve barber named Benjamin Barker (Johnny Depp). He was married to a beautiful woman named Lucy (Laura Michelle Kelly) who gave birth to a lovely baby girl. Unfortunately for Barker, voluptuous Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) coveted his wife and sentenced him to a life of hard labor so that he could ravish Lucy. The woman couldn't survive disgrace and poisoned herself with arsenic. Following that, the judge took Barker's little daughter, Johanna (Jayne Wisener), as his ward, perhaps to soothe his conscience. Fifteen years later, Barker escaped from prison and returned to his hometown under the assumed name of Sweeney Todd, only to find his beloved wife dead and his grown-up daughter in the clutches of the corrupt judge. Embittered and devastated, Todd vowed vengeance against Turpin and his henchman, Beadle Bamford (Timothy Spall). He followed advice of his former landlady Mrs. Lovett's (Helena Bonham Carter) and reopened his barbershop in the hope of someday luring the judge and slitting his throat with his sharp razor. |

The mysterious and charismatic Russian-born Nikolai Luzhin is a driver for one of London's most notorious organized crime families of Eastern European origin. The family itself is part of the Vory V Zakone criminal brotherhood. Headed by Semyon, whose courtly charm as the welcoming proprietor of the plush Trans-Siberian restaurant impeccably masks a cold and brutal core, the family's fortunes are tested by Semyon's volatile son and enforcer, Kirill, who is more tightly bound to Nikolai than to his own father. But Nikolai's carefully maintained existence is jarred once he crosses paths at Christmastime with Anna Khitrova, a midwife at a North London hospital. Anna is deeply affected by the desperate situation of a young teenager who dies while giving birth to a baby. Anna resolves to try to trace the baby's lineage and relatives. The girl's personal diary also survives her; it is written in Russian, and Anna seeks answers in it. Anna's mother Helen does not discourage her, but Anna's irascible Russian-born uncle Stepan urges caution. He is right to do so; by delving into the diary, Anna has accidentally unleashed the full fury of the Vory. With Semyon and Kirill closing ranks and Anna pressing her inquiries, Nikolai unexpectedly finds his loyalties divided. The family tightens its grip on him; who can, or should, he trust? Several lives - including his own - hang in the balance as a harrowing chain of murder, deceit, and retribution reverberates through the darkest corners of both the family and London itself. |
